I haven’t made cookies in a while and had a hankering for a peanut butter cookie. I am still trying to re-create the kind my mom used to make when I was growing up. Though that cookie was the more traditional peanut butter cookie, this one is a wonderful variation to the “sandy”, crunchy peanut butter cookie. It is moist, soft, chewy and very “peanut buttery”. It was very easy to prepare and is a “keeper”.
Honey-Peanut Butter Cookies
Slightly adapted from Taste of Home
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup honey*
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar for rolling
Directions:
Beat the shortening, peanut butter and honey then add the eggs and mix well. Separately, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt; add to peanut butter mixture and mix well.
Round dough into 1″ ballsand roll in powdered sugar. Place on un-greased baking sheets and bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly on cookie sheets. Remove and place on paper towels or a brown paper bag to cool completely. Store tightly covered.
*I was only able to squeeze 3/4 cup of honey, so I compensated with 1/4 cup molasses. I think if anything it added to the cookie and would not hesitate to use it again.

Wow! I was raised on peanut butter and honey sandwiches; I don’t know why I never converted that into cookie form! Thanks! My first batch just came out: amazing.
