Ingredients

2 cups shortening
2 cups white sugar
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
5 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking soda

Directions

Set out four 12x14-inch long pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap.
Cream shortening, white sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in vanilla extract and eggs until light and fluffy.
Mix together flour and baking soda in a separate bowl until well combined. Gradually add flour mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until blended.
Divide dough into 4 pieces and form each piece into an 8 to 10-inch roll. Wrap rolls in prepared waxed paper or plastic wrap and place in the freezer until ready to bake.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Remove dough from freezer and cut into 1-inch thick slices. Cut each slice into quarters and roll each piece into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet and use a fork to flatten with a nice crisscross design.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly brown around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on racks.
