Peanut Cookies

Peanut Cookies

1 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup granulated sugar or 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup boiling water
1 cup halved, salted peanuts
2 cups biscuit mix

Mix together the peanut butter, shortening, sugar and boiling water.  Blend with a rotary beater until smooth.  Stir in peanuts.  Stir in the biscuit mix.  Drop by small teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet.  Flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped in flour.  Bake in a 400-degree oven 8 to 10 minutes, until set but not hard.

Yield: about 6 1/2 dozen 1 1/2-inch cookies.
