Pimp's peanut butter and jelly cookies reminded me that I've never posted my grandson's favorite cookie recipe . . . an old one that I tore from a magazine years ago. Enjoy! But, beware. These cookies are addictive! They go great with a tall, cold glass of milk or some orange Bavarian cream (recipe posted separately).

Irresistible Peanut Butter Cookie

3/4 c. Jif Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 c. Crisco shortening
1 1/4 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
3 T. milk
1 T. vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 t. salt
3/4 t. baking soda

Heat oven to 375°. Combine peanut butter, Crisco, light brown sugar, milk, and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer 'til well blended. Add egg. Beat just until blended. Combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix just until blended. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet. Flatten slightly in crisscross pattern with tines of fork.

Bake at 375° for 7 to 8 minutes or until set and just beginning to brown. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet before removing to kitchen countertop. (I cool them on clean dish towels.) Yield: 3 dozen cookies.

That sounds like a good one Inky. I always use the one on the back of the Kraft Peanut Butter jar. I will give this one a try. My girls love peanut butter cookies not to mention my husband. I swear he can eat a whole batch in a 24 hour period Laughing

I didn't know Kraft makes peanut butter, Sydney. I wonder if it's a Canadian thing. I think this recipe came from either a Jif or a Crisco ad in one of my magazines, years ago.

Oh Ya Kraft makes an awsome peanut butter they make an Extra Creamy one which is to die for. I like the Kraft way better than any other brand. Here is the recipe off the back of the Kraft Peanut Butter Jar.

Kraft Super Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

1. Mix together 1 cup Kraft Extra Creamy Peanut Butter, 1/2 cup sugar and an egg (You can use any peanut butter)

2. Roll into balls and flatten with fork on ungreased cookie sheet.

3. Bake at 325 for 15 minutes. Do not over-bake. Makes about 24 cookies.

And thats it Very Happy

Look at that! And low carb to boot, if I use Splenda in place of the sugar! Thanks, Sydney!
