Just the right texture and flavor - these are the best!
Cream shortening, margarine, and sugars. Add egg, peanut butter, vanilla until thoroughly combined. Mix in dry ingredients.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar and place two inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Using fork dipped in sugar, flatten the balls with a criss-cross pattern.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 min. Makes 3 dozen.
Recipe came from my early married Turnpike friend, Nita (Parker) Whitt.
I have substituted canola oil for the shortening without much change in texture. Also, if you use salted butter instead of margarine, omit the salt.
