Recipe 3 -- Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies

For my third recipe, I decided to make Peanut Butter Cookies.

I've made Peanut Butter cookies using this recipe before:


3/4 cup Jif Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 cup All-Vegetable Shortening
1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 3/4 All Purpose Flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt

Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Combine peanut butter, shortening, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add egg, beating just until blended.

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add to creamed mixture at low speed, mixing just until blended. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheet. Flatten slightly in a crisscross pattern with tines of a fork.

Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until set and just beginning to brown. Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.


I substituted 1/4 cup of the peanut butter to Hershey's Chocolate Spread (similar to Nutella, but without any hazelnut). I also changed the baking time to 10 minutes.


These are all the ingredients:
