Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

I'm gonna share my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe today. I love these cookies. Peanut butter is my weakness, I can never get enough. This recipe is the best one I've found and believe me I've tried many. These cookies are true to their name, absolutely irresistible! Make sure when you make these you remember to share them with someone you love, try really hard not to eat them all yourself.  

Irresistible Peanut Butter Cookies
(Recipe from Crisco)

Ingredients:
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 stick of Crisco Baking Sticks, all vegetable shortening or, 1/2 cup vegetable shortening. 
1 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 Tablespoons milk
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees. 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 well blended. Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix just until blended. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2-inches apart onto greased baking sheet. Flatten slightly in a crisscross pattern with tines of fork. Bake one baking sheet at time 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 can only imagine how good these cookies would be with some Nutella spread on them or some sliced bananas, jelly, or you could mix some crunchy peanut butter with powdered sugar for a yummy peanut butter filling. Oh man, yum!!! The possibilities are endless.
