About Me

My photo
I was raised by my father (God rest his soul) in the valley of Nebraska. The background picture is of the Scottsbluff National Monument I took on a trip home... Thank Goodness I had Czech & German Grandmother's and Aunt's who taught me how to cook, sew and overall be the most giving person ever. The lady in this picture is my Aunty. She passed from Alzheimer's a few years ago. and was a huge influence on who I am and how I love. She and My Best Friend inspired this blog... I don't want anything to be forgotten!

Diva's Moist Peanut Butter Cookies

Diva’s Memories of Recipes
Peanut Butter Cookies
Inspiration:  I had tried many peanut butter cookie recipes growing up.  I perfected this moist cookie to this recipe 25 years ago.  Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 cup butter shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed firm
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
Instructions:
Cream shortening and sugars.  Add egg, peanut butter and vanilla.  Sift dry ingredients.  Add to cream mixture.  Shape into balls and flatten with a fork or I prefer the old style potato masher.  Bake 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes.

Variation:  Yields 6 dozen cookies.
