Peanut Butter Cookies

These are truly the best Peanut Butter Cookies you will ever eat!!!  I got this recipe off the back of a jar of Jif peanut butter...  you can seriously use any brand of peanut butter as well as any brand of shortening and flour.  I have used it with butter cubes as well and the cookies turn out just fine.  I think the secret here is the brown sugar, these cookies are just so moist and delicious. 

INGREDIENTS:3/4 cup Jif® Creamy Peanut Butter


1/2 stick Crisco® Baking Sticks All-Vegetable Shortening

Or 1/2 cup Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening

1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar

3 tablespoons milk

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 large egg

1 3/4 cups Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose Flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda
