Peanut Butter Cookies Soft, chewy, peanut butter cookies! Add a few chocolate chips the tops and you've got yourself the perfect peanut butter treat!

It's the first week of school here and I know that my kids are going to come home starving.  I should probably greet my children with fresh fruit or something, but I prefer to be the mom who has fresh baked cookies when her kids get home from school.  Of course I don't do this everyday, but today I am.  Turning their brains back on after being dormant for a couple months is hard work and they'll be ready for a pick me up.  These peanut butter cookies are an awesome pick me up!  They are soft, chewy and irresistible!  I like to add a few chocolate chips to the tops of my peanut butter cookies for a little something extra.  So go ahead and  start the school year off with something yummy!  Here's to an awesome school year!

Shortening, sugar, peanut butter and eggs creamed well.

Cream the shortening,  creamy peanut butter, and brown sugar.  Then add the milk and egg.  You could use chunky peanut butter if you wanted.  I just prefer to not have chunks in these cookies.

Peanut Butter Cookie dough mixed and ready to scoop.

Stir in the salt, baking soda and flour.

Peanut Butter Cookie dough scooped out, flattened with a fork and topped with chocolate chips.

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto your prepared baking sheets.  Press a criss cross pattern on the top of each cookie with a fork.  Press 3 chocolate chips into each cookie.  Bake for 8-9 minutes.  Cool and devour!
