I have White Chocolate and Bailey's Cake and Chocolate Cake on the cake stand, Ginger Glazed Ham on the carving board and a massive heap of scrumptious Peanut Butter Cookies in the cookie tin. It's Baby Love's last day at work today and I'm totally ready for Christmas to begin the second he walks through the door.
I like to bake and cook all my favourite things at Christmas so there was always going to be some peanut butter cookies at some point. This recipe is perfect, the cookies are gorgeously chewy and perfectly peanut buttery, it is certainly in my top five cookie recipes, if not top three.
Mmmm cookie stack....
Best Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe Ever

Recipe Source - Blisstree
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350
Stir together the dry ingredients.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer cream the butter, shortening and peanut butter until smooth. Add sugars and continue beating until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, then vanilla. Add flour mixture and blend well.
Shape dough into 1″ balls. Place a lined baking sheet 2 inches apart. Flatten with a fork dipped in flour and then flatten the other way to create cross hatching.
Bake for 8-10 minutes for chewy, 10-12 minutes for crispy/chewy and 12-14 minutes for crispy but watch carefully. Cool completely. about 6 dozen.
This is going to be my last post before Christmas, I hope you all have an amazing, fabulously festive time and I will be back with lots of goodies to post very soon.
A very very Merry Christmas to you all.

Wow you are so organised! Sounds like you have a lovely Christmas ready.
It is chaos here. Haven't even got my cards up, got so much wrapping to do, heading out in the snow to deliver parcels tomorrow (will take all day as getting anywhere in these conditions is so slow) then working all day Thurs and Fri and still have the house to clean. Eeeek. I'll need to work on being a bit more perfect for next year.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
Lou.
