Peanut butter cookies for the expectant Mom & Dad

When you are waiting for a baby to be born there is no better way to pass the time than baking. I have whipped up a batch of these delicious cookies for my beautiful daughter-in-law and son while they are awaiting the arrival of their baby.

I baked a few cookies to sample and then scooped
the rest to freeze to bake later.

1 cup vegetable shortening (1/2 pound)

1 ¼ cup peanut butter

1 cup white granulated sugar

1 cup golden yellow sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. Baking powder

1 tsp. Baking soda

1/2 tsp. Salt

2  1/2 cups flour

Cream shortening, peanut butter and sugars until light and creamy.

Add eggs and beat until well combined.

In a mixing bowl combine baking powder & soda, flour and salt. Stir well.

Add dry to the wet mixture. Mix all until well combined. 

Scoop dough into desired size scoops, press down with a fork dipped in white sugar and bake.

Preheat oven to 350 °. Bake for 11-12 minutes.
