I love these cookies. This is the best recipe i've used so far. I've used it 4 times already and my husband finishes them all. Thanks for the recipe. I also add some peanut butter chips and chunky peanut butter.
I live in switzerland and it is impossible to get any peanut butter cookies over here simply because it is not custum in my homeland. I decided to try out your recipe and i sure don't regret that!! They are fantastic! A big thanks from overseas!! For all europeans: baking soda = Natronhydrogencarbonat and is sold as Natron in Germany/ Switzerland;
what if i dont have shortening then what. i made these last year and i know i didnt use shortening they came out awesome but what is the shortening for, can i use butter instead
I don't know about "healthier" given the fact that there is shortening instead, but they are very good. I made a batch yesterday. I also like the fact that they fit on only 2 cookie sheets so there is only one oven cycle. While they are in the oven I always clean up and when I am done cleaning up is about the 5 min. time to swap the sheets to the other rack. Using parchment paper and a cookie scoop do help too. Good luck and get into the kitchen and give them a try.
They are great. Mom made them all the time when we were growing up. It is an easy recipe to do and remember, and they fit on two cookie sheets so they all can be done in one shot. Just don't use the low fat peanut butter. I've tried it. The regular store brand is fine.
Oh, just go and bake them, you'll see. The only problem is they won't last very long if you have cookie monsters like I do.
Did you try to make them? How did they turn out? Try the toll house cookie pie recipe too. That is very easy especially if you use a store bought graham cracker crust, and makes a great pie.
I got that recipe from verybestbaking dot com and make some necessary modification to make it what I consider perfect. I reduced the butter and added vanilla and salt. If you have ever make choc chip cookies you would know those ingredients are necessary.
I just checked the recipe and it is right. What is wrong with them? The only complaint I have ever heard about these cookies was from my brother when I used low fat peanut butter.
You are right Shelbie. No butter. Which makes it a good recipe when you run out of butter in the house. All the ingredients except the one egg come right out of my baking cabinet.
My Mom made these for many years and were always a favorite in the house.
My daughter and I made these today and they are delicious. Very quick and easy!

Yum :) I'm adding M&Ms. They're baking right now. Think that'll turn out well?
Seashell110 4 years ago
How did they turn out with M&Ms Shelbie?
That does sound like a good idea. I think I would use mini M&Ms only because that you need to fork them down to make the criss cross patterns.
I think I'll try that.

Why don't you google "fortune cookie recipe"? I don't know how well they will fold for fortune cookies.
