1 C shortening
1 1/2 C peanut butter
2/3 C granulated sugar
2/3 C packed brown sugar
2 eggs
4 Tbsp milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 C flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat shortening and peanut butter in extra large bowl until well blended. Add the sugars and beat until fluffy. Add eggs, milk, vanilla and beat well.
Stir together flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually beat into PB mixture.
Shape dough into 1" balls, roll in granulated sugar, place on ungreased cookie sheets.

I just made these tonight!! I am so excited to dig in. My mom and I have often said that it's not fully Christmas until we eat these.
I've been planning to make these too. I need to hurry up before the kids steal all the chocolate kisses!
Mmm, those look delicious, and pretty too! I've never seen them made with star-shaped chocolates. I like it!
Believe it or not Brenda, they taste just as good! Thanks for dropping by! :)
Those are one of my favorite cookies!!! They have the perfect combination of peanut butter and chocolate! YUM.
I only made these once. They were a real hit, but my husband prefers spritz and his mom's molasses cookies. Once I've finished those I've usually had enough baking for one year.
