Peanut Butter Cookies with Cheerios
If you love the flavor of peanut butter, don't miss these homemade cookies with crushed Cheerios mixed right into the dough.
Servings 60 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup shortening
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup Cheerios crushed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Beat the shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, peanut butter, egg, water and vanilla together for 2 minutes.
- Add the flour, baking soda, crushed Cheerios and salt and mix until well blended.
- Drop the dough in ½ inch balls onto a greased cookie sheet.
- Press a criss-cross on top of each cookie with a fork dipped in sugar. If you run the fork under water first, the sugar sticks long enough to get it to the cookie.
- Bake at 325°F for about 12 to 15 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown.
