Crisscross Peanut Butter Cookies

I couldn’t write a cookie book without them! This is a new peanut butter cookie recipe I’ve been working on. You’ll use shortening in addition to butter as the base of the dough. The reason for this is that I found that including too much butter diminishes the peanut butter flavor. Shortening gets the job done without depriving the peanut butter of its glory.
