directions

  • "Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease some cookie sheets. In a mixing bowl, thoroughly cream the shortening, vanilla, and sugars. Add the eggs and beat well. Stir in the peanut butter. Mix together the flour, salt, and baking soda, and add to the peanut butter mixture, combining thoroughly.
  • Form into tiny balls with the palm of your hands and place on the cookie sheets. Press each cooking twice with the back of a fork to make a crisscross design. Bake about 8-10 minutes or until firm.".

Questions & Replies

  1. My very old Fannie Farmer cookbook calls for 1 cup flour - not 1 1/2.

  1. Why is it that after searching for the original Fannie Farmer cookies, I get several sites, but the recipes aren’t the same. My searches turned up discrepancies, shortening was used in some of them, and only butter in others. Do you know which is the original recipe? I used to have her cookbook but it was lost.
