Peanut Butter cookies are a great base for all of those flavored chocolate morsels that you see out in the retail marketplace. I like to use this particular peanut butter cookies recipe and then add-in semi-sweet, dark chocolate, white chocolate, peanut butter chips, etc. into the batter. Last weekend I made the peanut butter cookies but stirred in a 1/2 cup of peanut butter chips. You can certainly add-in more! If chopped nuts are your thing…toss in some of those too!
Freezing Tips: These cookies freeze well. Bake and let them cool on a wire rack until room temperature. Then place into freezer bags or freezer containers. Label and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.

1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda

In a large mixing bowl cream together the shortening and creamy peanut butter. Beat in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy. Blend in the egg, milk and vanilla extract until all ingredients are combined.
In a large mixing bowl sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture into the creamed mixture, beating after each addition until all ingredients are combined together.
