Here's something for your kid's lunchboxes that you know won't be traded! Our homemade Double Peanut Butter Cookies will earn you a thumbs up from your pint-size brigade.
What You'll Need
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 1/2 cups creamy or crunchy peanut butter, divided
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
What to Do
-
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Cut in shortening and 1/2 cup peanut butter (mixture will resemble coarse meal); add corn syrup, blending well.
-
Cover baking sheet with waxed paper. Form dough into rolls approximately 2" in diameter and place on waxed paper. Chill at least 1 hour.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Remove dough from baking sheet and discard waxed paper; coat baking sheet with cooking spray. Cut chilled dough into 1/4" slices and place slices on baking sheet. Place 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter on each slice, then top with another slice of cookie dough, pressing down gently on the edges.
-
Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Cool before removing from baking sheet.
Notes
For crunchier cookies, substitute chunky peanut butter for the creamy.
