Awesome Peanut Butter cookies

These are the BEST peanut butter cookies I have made.  Just the right texture, flaky, light, awesome...  I normally use the mix for PB cookies and they turn out nice, but nothing like these.  I added some Hershey's Kisses and of course, they are great, but these are the only PB cookies that I like even without the added chocolate. 



  • 1 cup of Crisco OR 1 cup of butter (I used Crisco and recommend using this if you want the great texture)
    • beat this until soft
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 1 cup of white/regular sugar
    • mix these in to crisco or butter
  •  2 eggs
  • 2 cups of peanut butter (or 1 full 16.9oz container)
  • 1 teas salt
  • 1 teas baking soda
  • 1 teas vanilla (I added more cause YUM!)
    • mix all of that in
  • 1 cup of flour (if oily PB, add 1 1/2 cups of flour)
    • mix that in

Mix well.  You can either roll little bits of cookie dough into balls and press down w/a fork, or drop onto cookie sheet  (I sprayed mine first w/cooking spray).  The rolling takes more time and I find it doesn't make a difference as the cookie flattens a bit as it bake anyways.  When you take it out, you can press an un-wrapped Hershey's Kiss on it, or not.  OH - bake at 375 for about 8 min.  Take out and let it sit for a few minutes to cool.  Don't expect these to last long!  :)  At least they don't at my house!  :)
