Ingredients

• 1¾ cups all purpose flour

• ½ cup sugar

• 1 tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

• ½ cup shortening

• Preheat oven to 350°F.

• Sift together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

• Using an electric mixer, cream together butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.

• Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat until well blended.

• Gradually add flour mixture, mixing thoroughly, until stiff dough forms. If the dough is very soft, refrigerate for about 1 hour.
