Salted Peanut Cookies

Salted Peanut Cookies

1-1/2 cups shortening (I used butter flavored Crisco sticks)
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3-3/4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1-1/2 cups salted peanuts
1-1/2 cups chocolate chips

In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in peanuts and chocolate chips.

Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto greased (or parchment paper lined) cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks. YIELD: 10 dozen.
