Here's a recipe for peanut butter cookies with shortening that has been adjusted for high altitude:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter flavored SHORTENING
1/2 cup unsalted BUTTER, at room temperature
3/4 cup creamy PEANUT butter
1 1/4 cups granulated SUGAR
2 EGGS
1 tablespoon VANILLA extract
2 cups all-purpose 11.7% FLOUR
1/2 teaspoon baking POWDER
1/2 teaspoon baking SODA
1 teaspoon SALT
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated.
Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Use a fork to press down on the cookie dough balls in a criss-cross pattern.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Peanut butter cookies have been a beloved American classic since the early 1900s, when peanut butter itself was becoming a popular ingredient in American kitchens. The first published recipe for peanut butter cookies appeared in a cookbook called "The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book" by Fannie Farmer in 1896.
Over time, peanut butter cookies became a staple in many households, with variations including the addition of chocolate chips or a criss-cross pattern on top made with a fork.
Today, peanut butter cookies remain a popular treat enjoyed by people of all ages.
