  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • In a medium mixing bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer, cream peanut butter, shortening, and brown sugar.
  • Add egg and beat until combined. Mix in milk and vanilla.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to the peanut butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips.
  • Scoop the dough with a medium cookie scoop, slightly overfilled, and arrange on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten balls slightly with your hand or the bottom of a glass. Crosshatch if desired. (I don't with these cookies)
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until center of cookies appear just slightly wet, and edges are set. The cookies will continue cooking and set as they cool.
  • Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 15 minutes, then remove to wire baking rack to cool completely.

Notes

  1. Overmixing - To achieve results like chewy and moist Nestle peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, be sure not to over-mix. This develops too much gluten in the dough and makes your cookies tough.
    • As you add the dry ingredients, stop mixing when there are a few streaks of flour still running through the dough. Add the chips and finish mixing.
