INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup regular butter or butter flavor
3/4 cup of peanut butter
1 1/2 cups of packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons of milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375F.
In a large bowl, whisk vegetable shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, milk and vanilla with an electric mixer until well blended. Add egg and mix only until well blended.
In a small bowl, beat the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until combined.
Place cookie dough on an ungreased cookie sheet to form 1 to 1 ½ inch dough balls. Use a fork to press the dough together to create the traditional cross pattern on each cookie.
Bake for 7-8 minutes at 375F until set on edges. Cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire cooling rack for cooling.
