Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup shortening
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 ½ cups sifted all-purpose flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Beat the shortening with the sugars and the peanut butter until well mixed. Beat in the egg and the water.

Step 3

Gradually beat in the flour, baking soda and salt. Form cookies on an ungreased baking sheet with a cookie press or roll into balls and smash flat with a floured fork or fingers.

Step 4

Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 12 minutes or more until done, usually when the puffed up cookie has lowered down to level. Before then it is more chewy.

Step 5

For High Altitude, omit water and add eggs last, mixing well, but not beating them as at sea level. Raise the temperature to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C). Or use a convection oven at 312 degrees F (155 degrees C) for 15 min works even better.
