Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- ¾ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup shortening
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- ¼ cup sugar, for rolling the cookies
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.
3. In the bowl of your stand mixer, or with an electric mixer, cream together the butter, honey and shortening on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4. Then add the in the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
5. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add in the flour mixture until a dough forms.
6. Use a 2-tablespoon sized scoop to scoop out dough and roll into a ball. Drop in the sugar and toss to coat. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and press down with a fork to create a criss-cross pattern.
7. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
