3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1-1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1-3/4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add egg. Beat just until blended.

Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix just until blended.
