GP’s Peanut Butter Cookies

This recipe is from the kitchen of my beloved grandma!  I can’t think of her without smiling.  These cookies are a favorite at our house!

GP’s Peanut Butter Cookies
1 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
¼ cup milk
3 ½ cup flour
2 tsp soda
2 tsp salt
Cream together the shortening, white sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter. Then add the eggs and milk and mix.  Add the rest of the ingredients. Roll in balls (I like the ease of using a “cookie scoop” to make the balls–OXO Good Grips Small Cookie Scoop). Then roll the cookie dough ball in sugar. Press with a cup bottom and then press with fork to make a criss-cross. Bake 375’ for 9-10 minutes.
