Irresistible Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup JIF® Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 cup Butter Flavor CRISCO® Stick
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a medium-hot temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Prepare the surface where cookies will cool by laying down sheets of aluminum foil.
3
In a large mixing container, combine the brown sugar, Jif peanut butter, shortening, milk, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to blend the ingredients on a medium speed until they are thoroughly combined.
4
Add one egg to the mixture and blend just enough to merge the two.
5
In a separate mixing container, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the blended ingredients and mix on a low speed until just combined.
6
Scoop rounded tablespoonfuls of cookie dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
7
Use a fork to flatten the cookies slightly in a crisscross pattern.
8
Bake one baking sheet at a time in your preheated oven until the cookies are set and just beginning to turn golden brown, taking around 7-8 minutes.
9
Don't overbake the cookies - they should be lightly cooked.
10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to the prepared sheets of foil to continue cooling completely.
