Tired of chocolate chip, macadamia nut, and plain old sugar cookies? Then try these apple peanut butter cookies, rich with a touch of fruitiness.

  • ½ cup chunky peanut butter*

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup peeled and grated apple

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, cream the shortening, peanut butter, and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients; gradually add them to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the apple.
