Peanut butter cookies. Say no more. If I could only eat those things for the rest of my life, I think I would be happy. :) I made a batch yesterday and I might have eaten over half of them myself... I'm eyeballing the last three right now.
Here's the recipe:
3/4 cup of peanut butter
1/2 stick of shortening
1 1/4 firmly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
Heat oven to 375 F. Combine peanut butter, shortening, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended. Add egg. Beat just until blended. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in seperate bowl. Add to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix just until blended. Drop by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls of dough 2-inches apart onto greased baking sheet. ( This part isn't that inportant, I usually guesstimate it.) 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. ( Don't overcook! They are waaaaaaaay better chewy.) Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove cookies to cooling racks to cool completly.
Makes 3 dozen cookies. ( Not for me. Although that might have something to do with eating a couple pinchfulls of cookiedough. :\ )
