Mmmmmm…Double Daubed Peanut Butter and Jelly cookies

Heat oven to 350 degrees
Makes about 5 dozen cookies (4 dozen when you make em’ big like I do)

1 Cup butter flavor CRISCO all vegetable shortening
1 cup JIF creamy Peanut Butter
1 tsp. vanilla
2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1 jar SMUCKERS strawberry (or any flavor you like) preserves

Combine shortening, peanut butter and vanilla in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until well blended and smooth.
Add Brown and granulated sugars and mix until completely incorporated.
Add eggs and mix just until blended.
Add flour and pulse until dough begins to form a ball. Be careful not to over process.

Place dough in a bowl.
Shape 3/4 Tablespoon dough into a ball for each cookie and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Wash one of your Bingo Daubers and use the round plastic cap to press into the center of each ball to create a well. (Your thumb works well to, but the round dauber caps are just the right size and the indentations all come out the same)
Fill each indentation with about ½ tsp. preserves.

Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned and firm.
Cool on cookie sheet about 5 minutes before transferring them.
