64 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| ¼ | cup | Shortening; room temp |
| ¼ | cup | Butter or margarine; softened |
| ½ | cup | Peanut butter |
| ½ | cup | Sugar |
| ½ | cup | Brown sugar; packed |
| 1 | Egg | |
| 1¼ | cup | Flour** |
| ¾ | teaspoon | Baking soda |
| ½ | teaspoon | Baking powder |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Salt |
| Jelly or jam for filling | ||
Directions
Mix thoroughly the shortening, butter or margarine, peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar & egg. Blend in remaining ingredients except jam. Cover and chill.
Heat oven to 375. Shape dough into ¾" balls. Place about 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake about 10 minutes or until set but not hard. When cool, put cookies together in pairs with jelly. Makes about 4½ dozen cookies.
** If using self-rising flour, omit baking soda, baking powder & salt.
MY NOTES: These are great with any flavor jam or jelly. However, I think they are exceptional using orange marmalade. And if I do make a variety of flavors, those seem to be the ones picked out first. So, that's what I use now!
