• ½ cup buttermilk
• 2½ cups all-purpose flour

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the shortening, peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and buttermilk until smooth and creamy.
3. Stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms.
4. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
5. Dip a fork in a little flour and gently flatten each cookie with a crisscross pattern.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2- 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
