PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

 

Starting of school year was always a wonderful time for me.  With four kids in the house all day everyday all summer I was ready to welcome the first day of school.  One of the sweetest memories was having some home made cookies waiting for that after school hunger.  Nothing better than a few peanut butter cookies and a glass of milk to fill up empty bellies and then go outside and play in the neighborhood until "supper".  Supper was the time of day when daddies came home from work, kids came in from the neighborhood and we all sat together and ate and discussed family topics and who had homework.

If there were any cookies left over they were put into the lunch boxes for the next day's lunch at school.

You probably have a good recipe for peanut butter cookies but in case you don't here is mine:

1 cup shortening

1 cup chunky peanut butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 cups flour

2 teaspoons soda

1/2 teaspoon sale

Roll the dough into little balls and then press a fork  on the top and make the criss cross print that is famous only to peanut butter cookies.

 

Mix, Press Eat and Enjoy!!
