wow, really no butter? hmm.... healthier and tastier! i think this is gonna be my afternoon afterwork snack

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.

nice they look good and its handy how its a half a cup of everything but flour :)

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.

And no butter? These sure turned out great! :D

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.

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;

1 Cup = 250ml

enjoy these cookies!!!
