For Tom and Brandon
Here’s the peanut butter cookie recipe I use. For the cashew butter cookies, I just subbed cashew butter for the peanut butter. If you get it at Fresh Market, the smaller plastic tub is one cup of cashew butter.
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 375°. Cream the shortening and sugars. Add the peanut butter and mix. Add the eggs and mix well. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and vanilla and mix well. Roll into balls or use a medium cookie scoop and put on cookie sheet. Using a fork, make a criss cross pattern on top of the cookies, flattening slightly. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving to cooling rack to cool completely.
There ya go guys. I can’t remember if I have made you guys peanut butter cookies before, but if I did, that is the recipe I used. They are good as is or you can dip them in chocolate to make them yummier.
