Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening
• 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, (firmly packed)
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).

2. 2

   In a medium mixing bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer, cream peanut butter, shortening, and brown sugar.

3. 3

   Add egg and beat until combined. Mix in milk and vanilla.

4. 4

   In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to the peanut butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips.

5. 5

   Scoop the dough with a medium cookie scoop, slightly overfilled, and arrange on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten balls slightly with your hand or the bottom of a glass. Crosshatch if desired. (I don't with these cookies)

6. 6

   Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until center of cookies appear just slightly wet, and edges are set. The cookies will continue cooking and set as they cool.

7. 7

   Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 15 minutes, then remove to wire baking rack to cool completely.
