Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser. I've tried
a few p.b. cookie recipes over the years. This is my
favorite. It's from Crisco. Variations:
- Add m&m's
- Top with a mini Reese Cup (after removed from
oven)
- Top with a Hershey Kiss (after removed from oven)
- Roll cookie dough ball in sugar before pressing
- Top w/ pb. frosting, recipe below.

Cream:
1/2 c Crisco
3/4 c creamy peanut butter
1 1/4 c brown sugar, packed
3 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp vanilla
Mix well.
Add:
1 egg
Add:
1 3/4 c flour
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp b. soda

Mix just until blended.

Roll into balls, flatten with fork dunked in sugar.
Bake @ 375, 8-9 minutes
Bake until set & just beginning to brown.
