Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter Flavored Shortening
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 3 Tbsp Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1 Egg
- 1 1/4 Flour
- 1/3 cup Cocoa
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 3/4 tsp Baking Soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Leave a cookie sheet ungreased.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar until combined.
- Add 3 tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 large egg. Beat just until the mixture is smooth and combined. Do not overmix.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, stirring by hand after each addition until just combined. The dough will be thick.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the dough onto the ungreased cookie sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork, making a crisscross pattern on top.
- Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
