I had a recent complaint that every time I make cookies, I always make either Sugar or Chocolate chip. And while he LOVES any type of baking I do, my husband's favorite cookie is Peanut Butter. So I did him a favor tonight and baked him some Peanut Butter Cookies! He'll be so glad when he comes home from work!
3/4 cup JIF peanut butter
1/2 stick or 1/2 cup Butter flavor shortening (I use the pre-measured sticks and love them! So much easier than trying to measure it out!)
1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3 TBS milk
1 TBS vanilla
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups Flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
*Heat oven to 375. Combine peanut butter, shortening, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until well blended. Add egg. Beat just until blended. Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix just until blended. Drop my rounded measuring tablespoonfuls of dough 2-inches apart onto greased baking sheet. Flatten slightly in a crisscross pattern with tines of fork. Bake one baking sheet at a time for 7-8 minutes or until set and just beginning to brown. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove cookies to cooling racks to cool completely.
*I rolled the dough into a ball in my hands and then rolled them in sugar.
*Next time I would add a little more flour, they were a little flat, but still very tasty!
*Makes 3 dozen cookies
