Equipment

  • oven
  • bowl
  • baking dish 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Crisco
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter creamy or crunchy
  • 1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips optional
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1:Preheating the oven

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Mixing the Wet Ingredients

  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the brown sugar, peanut butter, and Crisco until smooth and well combined. Add in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until a homogeneous mixture is formed.

Step 3: Incorporating the Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring well to form a cookie dough consistency.

Step 4: Baking the Cookies

  • Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork, creating a classic crisscross pattern.

Step 5: Optional Chocolate Chips

  • For an added touch of indulgence, sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips on top of the cookies before placing them in the oven.

Step 6: Baking and Cooling

  • Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack to allow them to firm up.

Notes

– Brown Sugar: The use of packed brown sugar adds a rich molasses flavor and a chewy texture to the cookies, enhancing the overall taste.
– Peanut Butter: Opt for either creamy or crunchy peanut butter based on your preference, as both variations bring a unique nuance to the recipe.
– Crisco: The inclusion of Crisco as a shortening agent ensures a soft and tender texture to the cookies, making them a delightful treat.
– Baking Temperature: Ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature to achieve perfectly baked cookies with a golden hue.
– Chocolate Chips: While optional, the addition of semi-sweet chocolate chips elevates the cookies, adding a decadent touch to the overall flavor profile.
