Puffy Vanilla and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
Our mom always makes the fluffiest, most delicious cookies around. Every now and then I’ll make a good batch where they don’t fall too flat, but this recipe seems to be fool proof! They are puffy and delicious!
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegetable shortening (Crisco)
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 Tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ cups flour
- ¾ cup peanut butter chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silpat liners, or spray with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together shortening, sugars, egg, water, and vanilla until batter is creamy.
- Add the cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and flour. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in peanut butter chips by hand.
- Cover and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes. (Do not skip chilling the dough if you want puffy cookies because cold dough results in puffier cookies.)
- Using a cookie scoop, form 1 inch balls (or roll balls by hand) and place on prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until barely brown.
- Remove cookies from oven when they look slightly under-baked and allow cookies to cool and firm up on cookie sheets for at least 5 minutes before moving to cooling racks.
Notes
- Do not skip chilling the dough if you want puffy cookies because cold dough results in puffier cookies.
