Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookies

• 1/2 cups Butter
• 1/2 cups Crisco
• 1-1/4 cup Peanut Butter
• 1-1/2 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
• 2 whole Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla
• 2-1/2 cups Flour
• 3/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 1-1/2 cup Honey Roasted Peanuts
• Super Fine Caster Or White Sugar For Sprinkling

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare two sheet pans with silpats or parchment paper.
2. Cream together the butter and Crisco until creamy. Add the peanut butter and combine well until creamy and uniform. Add the sugar and cream until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat together.
3. In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt) together. Add them to the creamed mixture and combine to form a dough. Add the peanuts and mix until just combined.
4. Scoop the dough in large mounds onto the sheet pans. Six cookies should fit onto each pan.
5. Criss cross the tops of each cookie with a fork. Sprinkle them with sugar on the top.
6. Bake the cookies 11-12 minutes or until golden around the edges. (Bake them for about 14 minutes if you like them crispy all the way through).
7. Let them cool on the sheet pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
8. Enjoy!
