Peanut Butter Crisscrosses

Recipe from vintage recipe card from family circle circa 1960s

2 Cups sifted flour

¾ tsp baking soda

½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

½ cup shortening

½ cup peanut butter

½ cup packed brown sugar

½ cup sugar

1 egg

¼ cup orange juice

Measure flour, soda, baking powder, and salt into a sifter. Cream shortening and peanut butter with brown sugar and sugar until fluffy in a large bowl; beat in egg. Sift in the flour mixture adding alternately with orange juice and blending well to make a stiff dough. Chill until firm enough to handle

Roll dough a teaspoonful at a time into balls placed 3 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten crisscross fashion with a fork. Bake in a moderate oven 375 degrees for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets and cool on wire racks. Makes about 5 dozen.
