Ingredients

  • 1/2 cups Crisco Shortening
  • 3/4 cups Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/3 cups Sugar
  • 1/3 cups Packed Brown Sugar
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-1/2 cup Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Sugar (for Rolling)
  • 48 whole Rolo Candies, Unwrapped

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Cream together shortening, peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla and beat well. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt. Then gradually stir this into the peanut butter mixture.
  • Shape dough into 1-inch balls (using a 1 Tablespoon sized cookie scoop if possible). Roll the balls in sugar and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and immediately press a Rolo into the center of each cookie. The cookies will crack around the edges. Remove from the cookie sheet to a wire rack. Cool completely.
