Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, milk, vanilla extract and mix until combined and smooth.
  • Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and mix until just combined.
  • Stir in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into balls.
  • Note: If dough is too sticky, chill in fridge for 30-40 minutes to make it easier to handle. If dough is to dry, mix in a little more milk.
  • Place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper.
  • Flatten them with a "criss-cross" pattern, using a fork.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F for 8-9 minutes or until edges are firm and center is slightly soft.
  • Remove from oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan and then, enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a cookie jar at room temperature for up to 3 days.
