Peanut Butter Chewies


These are amazing. That's all can say.... amazing. They come from a cookbook entitled Favorite Brand Name Bake Sale Cookbook. This was a gift from my sister the first Christmas I was married. It has been used and used and used. The recipe sounds bizarre, but just go with it. You'll agree. Amazing.

1 stick (cup) butter flavored shortening
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp vanilla
2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 c chopped Pecans

Preheat oven to 350F. Combine shortening, peanut butter and sugar in mixing bowl. beat on medium speed for 5 minutes. Wipe down sides of bowl. Add eggs, 1 at a time, then add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Dump into batter and beat on low just until blended. Stir in nuts.

Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls (I used a small ice cream scoop) of dough 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. I used my silpat for all cookies.

Bake at 350 for 12-13 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheets, then remove to cooling rack.

This recipe makes about 4 dozen cookies.
