A woman shares her grandmother 1942 peanut butter cookie recipe.
“My mother insisted that my grandmother write down one recipe for her when she got married in 1942. That was a real effort because Grandma was a traditional pioneer-type cook who used “a little of this or that ’til it feels right.” This treasured recipe is the only one she ever wrote down!”
The Ingredients: Yields 3 dozen
1 cup shortening
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoons salt
The How:
Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, cream shortening, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt, then add to creamed mixture and mix well. Roll into 1-1/2-inch balls. Place 3 inches apart on un-greased baking sheets. Flatten with a fork or meat mallet if desired. Bake 10-15 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
