Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies With Shredded Wheat Recipes

CRUNCHY PEANUT-BUTTER COOKIES WITH SHREDDED WHEAT

Steps:

• Mix together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
• Add eggs and vanilla and beat until light.
• Sift the flour with the soda and salt; stir into creamed mixture until well blended.
• Lightly mix in the shredded wheat and peanuts.
• Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of batter, about 2 inches apart, on ungreased cookie sheets. (This makes rather ragged cookies, so I like to roll them into balls first, but little pieces of shredded wheat DO stab a bit!) Using the tines of a fork, press dough flat in each direction to make a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Makes about 8 dozen cookies.

CRUNCHY PEANUT-BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With an electric mixer, beat peanut butter, sugar, and butter until smooth. Beat in egg.
• On low speed, mix in flour and baking powder until a dough forms.
• Pinch off dough by the tablespoon; roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets (lined with parchment paper, if desired). With a floured fork, press balls in a crisscross fashion, flattening to a 1/2-inch thickness.
• Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until lightly golden, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool cookies on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

• Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cookies are slightly toasted at the edges.
