Do you have a special recipe for the peanut blossoms? I have been wanting to make those. Or is it just a regular peanut butter cookie? But I need to figure out how to get it not to flatten out

The secret is substituting shortening (I use the Criso butter-flavored sticks) versus the butter. We’ve used this Betty Crocker recipe for a few generations with the Criso substitution:

This is the Super-Jumbo edition, makes 7 dozen cookies. You can use a different recipe, but use Criso in lieu of butter - the cookies spread too much with butter and stay puffier with the Criso substitution.
