George Washington Carver, an American agricultural scientist, created more than 300 products made from peanuts\u2014including food, beverages, medicines, cosmetics, paints and household appliances. One of his discoveries involves tender yet crunchy and subtly rich peanut butter cookies. His historic creation inspires this recipe, and you probably already have most of these ingredients hanging out in your pantry or fridge, making it easy to bake these sweet delights at any time.<\/span><\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. In a large bowl, cream the shortening, peanut butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Next, add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed ones and mix well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Roll the cookie dough into 1-1\/2-inch balls, and place them 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake the cookies for 10 to 15 minutes. Allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.<\/span><\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip<\/span><\/i>: Use a fork to flatten and press the dough balls before baking to give them that nostalgic criss-cross imprint.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n After baking, let the peanut butter cookies come to room temperature, then place them in an airtight container. You can keep them hanging out on your counter for up to a week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These easy peanut butter cookies are a great sweet treat to meal-prep for the week. You can pack them for lunch or eat them for dessert after dinner. We recommend following the recipe and then storing them in an airtight container; they can last for up to a week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you want to freeze these peanut butter cookies, we recommend making the dough, scooping it into balls and storing them in an airtight container or freezer-friendly bag. You can keep them in the freezer for up to two months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You can store these already-baked peanut butter cookies in an airtight container for up to a week on your counter, or freeze them for 8 to 12 months.<\/span><\/p>\n You can whip up a plant-based version of these peanut butter cookies with a few simple tweaks. When you\u2019re shopping for shortening, make sure you grab one that’s vegetable-based. For every egg, swap in 1\/4 cup of <\/span>applesauce<\/span><\/a>. Then follow the recipe directions to bake these delicious bites.<\/span><\/p>\n If you prefer <\/span>almond butter<\/span><\/a> over peanut butter, you can definitely use almond butter in these cookies. Just follow the recipe and swap the peanut butter for almond butter. Keep in mind that the taste may vary slightly, but the cookies will still turn out delicious.<\/span><\/p>\n When checking if the peanut butter cookies are ready, observe whether they begin to spread slightly and if their edges turn golden brown, alerting that it\u2019s time to remove them from the oven.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My mother insisted that my grandmother write down one recipe for her when Mom got married in 1942: the how to make peanut butter cookies from scratch recipe.

Peanut butter is homogenized now to keep it from separating so there are ingredients that were not there when this recipe was written. I'm not a fan of crisp cookies so I probably won't make this but I know a lot of people that do like crisp cookies. I have my grandmother's Tea Cake recipe that she probably got from her grandmother, very early 1900s.
