Big Grandma's Best Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup white sugar
1 cup Butter Flavor Crisco
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups flour(1/4 cup more if needed)

Directions
Cream together the sugars, Crisco, peanut butter.
Add the eggs and vanilla.
Sift the dry ingredients together and add gradually until blended well.
Roll into tablespoon size balls.
Roll cookie dough balls into sugar.
Place on cookie sheets- do not mash with fork in normal "peanut butter cookie" fashion!
Bake at 350° oven for 11-13 minutes.

**** 4 stars for overall taste
??? My kids weren't here to try them
**** 4 stars for ease

These were crispy on the outside and soft inside...a trait I love in cookies but they didn't have a strong peanut butter flavor that I love. I think next time I will add peanut butter chips to them. My kids were not here to test them and most of them went to work with DH so I haven't heard how they went over. They are pretty easy to make but some people do not like the rolling in sugar step.
