Peanut Tall Chips
Description
These Peanut Tall Chips are a nostalgic treat that combines the deep, savory richness of creamy peanut butter with the indulgent sweetness of both milk and dark chocolate chips. The result is a cookie that is crisp on the outside with a slightly chewy center, offering a perfect balance of textures. The addition of shortening ensures a tender crumb, while the double sugar coating adds a delightful crunch. They are incredibly easy to mix up, requiring no chilling time, making them ideal for spontaneous baking sessions. Serve them warm with a glass of cold milk or pack them in lunchboxes for a satisfying snack. These cookies are a crowd-pleaser for potlucks, parties, or simply a quiet evening at home.Ingredients

Note
Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
Substitutions: You can substitute butter for the shortening, though the texture may be slightly crispier. Natural peanut butter works best if it is well-stirred; if it is too runny, reduce the milk by 1 tablespoon.
Tip: Ensure your baking soda is fresh for proper rise. If you prefer a softer cookie, reduce the baking time to 8 minutes.
