Peanut Butter

Okay, so I am not a fan of peanut butter.

I will eat it if absolutely necessary, or if for some odd reason I'm craving it (which happened once in 2011, it was a very strange time)

So it may come as a surprise to most of you that I created and am posting a recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies.  But seriously, these things are so good that even I will eat them.  Truth be told, it may be that they are actually half peanut butter and half almond butter (well, a little less than half peanut butter because that's how much I had on hand when I made these...but you could most likely make these with ALL peanut butter (or the nut butter of your choice) if you're crazy)

So here they are...

Peanut Butter Cookies SO Good, Even Lisa Would Eat Them

Ingredients:

1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup white sugar
2/3 cup shortening
1/3 cup softened butter
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups flour

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Beat sugars, shortening, butter, and nut butters together.  Add eggs and vanilla and beat til smooth and creamy.  Combine dry ingredients and slowly add to the mixture until fully incorporated.

Form dough into balls and roll in white sugar.

Do NOT press a fork into them like you normally would with peanut butter cookies.

Bake for 11-13 minutes (mine were perfect at 11)

Try not to eat them all...because you'll want to.
