Shutter Love Tuesday - Cookies!

My absolute favorite subject!  I bake a TON, so I have lots of recent cookie pictures!  Here is my most recent of my favorite Peanut Butter cookie on steroids :o)  Recipe to follow:


1 3/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c lightly packed brown sugar
1/2 c shortening
1/2 c peanut butter
1 egg
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
1bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Chips
About 1/2 bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Minis
AND if you're feeling frisky, throw in some Reese's Pieces too :o)

Preheat oven to 375
Cream shortening, peanut butter, sugars, egg, milk & vanilla.  Mix in the rest of the dry ingredients, chips and pieces.  Roll dough into 1" balls and place on un-greased cookie sheets 2" apart.  Bake for 10 minutes or until the tops start to crack slightly and turn golden.  Immediately press 1 mini cup into center of each cookie.

I make this cookie a million ways...on may occasions, instead of using a cookie sheet, I use a mini muffin pan.  Bake for 8 minutes exactly...you won't think they are done, but they are, press in peanut butter cup the same way, but let cool a bit before you try to remove them from the pan.  I also love m&m's in the center too! 

Enjoy!
