Soft, chewy, peanut butter cookies! Add a few chocolate chips to 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 freshly baked cookies when her kids get home from school.

Of course, I don't do this every day, but today I am. Turning their brains back on after being dormant for a couple of 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!
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 not to have chunks in these cookies.
Stir in the salt, baking soda, and flour.
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!
