PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Line 3 rimmed sheet trays with parchment paper.
• Add the peanut butter, butter and shortening to the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, and beat together. Add the brown sugar, and cream until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well in between each addition. Beat in the vanilla and combine until mixed.

• Use a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop and scoop the cookie batter onto one of the prepared sheet trays. Gently press down the tops of the cookies with a fork making a criss-cross. Sprinkle each cookie with a small pinch of salt and sugar. Place in the refrigerator to firm up, at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place 6 firmed cookies on each prepared sheet tray, leaving at least 4 inches of space between the cookies. Bake in batches until golden, 18 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through baking.

Add the flour in thirds and stir until smooth. Fold in the peanut butter chips. Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons).
