Packed with great peanut butter taste, these peanut butter cookies are sure to please.

Ingredients

1/2

cup granulated sugar (raw sugar)

1/2

cup packed brown sugar

1/2

cup peanut butter (Peter Pan Brand)

1/4

cup shortening (I personally would use extra Smart Balance here because I do not use shortening. Healthier versions of shortening do exist. Try Spectrum Organic or Nutiva)

1/4

cup butter, softened (Smart Balance)

1

egg

1 1/4

cups Bisquick™ Gluten Free mix (whatever GF mix you like the best)

Directions

• 1 In large bowl, mix sugars, peanut butter, shortening, butter and egg. Stir in Bisquick mix. Cover; refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.
• 2 Heat oven to 375°F. Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls about 3 inches apart. With fork dipped in sugar, flatten balls in crisscross pattern.
• 3 Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks (I would bake them a minute or so less if you want them on the softer side. Do a test batch first, then adjust the cooking time.)
