Ingredients
  

  • 1 c brown sugar
  • 1 c white sugar
  • 1 c Crisco butter flavored
  • 1 c peanut butter
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ c milk
  • 2 t vanilla
  • 3 ½ c flour
  • 2 t baking soda
  • 1 t salt
  • 1 bag chocolate stars or roughly 8 dozen from the bulk bin – it’s ok to buy more, so you can snack on the extras

Method
 

  1. Cream sugars and Crisco on high speed. Beat in peanut butter, eggs, milk and vanilla. Stir in combined dry ingredients.
  2. Chill the dough for at least 1 hour, overnight or for a couple days it ok too.
  3. Roll into 1 inch balls and place a couple inches apart (these don’t spread much) onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Until a couple golden spots appear. Remove from oven and IMMEDIATELY press a chocolate star into the center.
  5. Allow to cool completely until the chocolate star has solidified before packaging.
