Author Notes: This recipe was given to us by Amanda Formaro, editor of TheFamilyCorner.com. Amanda's the mother of four, so she has a lot of experience knowing exactly what makes for an irresistible cookie. This recipe received raves from her brood.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup all vegetable shortening
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions: Preheat oven to 375° degrees F.

Combine shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer at medium speed until 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 for 7 to 8 minutes, or until set and just beginning to brown. DO NOT OVERBake.

Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove cookies to wire rack to cool completely.
