World's Best Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ready for this blog's very first recipe?!  Me, too.
Today we are making these beauties.

yes, i know there's a big watermark on the picture, but
you've got to give credit where it's due, right?  i have made these,
i just don't have a picture available.

Yummy right?  I promise these will be a huge hit at any social event, or a Friday night movie....in your room....by yourself. (don't worry, we all have those days).  The point is, any reason is a good reason to make these delicious peanut butter cookies!  So without further ado....

World's Best Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp. vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup shortening
• 1/4 cup butter
• As much peanut butter and chocolate chips as you want. (I think I used about a cup of peanut butter and 1/2 cup chocolate chips, but feel free to add as much as your heart desires.)

Directions

• Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
• Add milk if too dry/clumpy.
• Spoon onto cookie sheet in aprx. 1 inch balls.
• Bake at 375(F) for 10 minutes.
• Enjoy!!

Now how easy was that?!  This is one of my favorite recipes because you can customize it and it always turns out amazing!  To make this recipe a little healthier (although let's face it-cookies are not healthy), you can try substituting unsweetened applesauce for butter, whole wheat flour for white flour, and dark chocolate chips for milk chocolate.

Let me know if you try them out!  I hope you love this recipe as much as I do!
