Whip up dough, freeze, and bake for quick and delicious peanut butter cookies.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups shortening
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 cups peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking soda
Instructions:
  • Place four 12x14-inch long pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap on the counter.
  • Combine shortening, white sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to cream the mixture until smooth and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and eggs, continue beating until light and fluffy.
  • Combine flour and baking soda in a separate bowl until fully mixed. Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until well incorporated.
  • Divide the dough into four pieces and shape each piece into an 8 to 10-inch roll. Wrap the rolls in waxed paper or plastic wrap, then chill in the freezer until it's time to bake.
  • Preheat the oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), then prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  • Take the dough out of the freezer and slice it into 1-inch thick pieces. Quarter each slice and shape into balls. Arrange them on the baking sheet and gently press down with a fork to create a lovely crisscross pattern.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges, then cool on racks.
