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

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (191C).
  2. In a large mixer bowl, beat the shortening and creamy peanut butter until smooth and well blended.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and packed light brown sugar; beat on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract; beat well until fully incorporated.
  5. In a separate small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  7. Fold in the dark chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips.
  8. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls.
  9. Roll each ball in additional granulated sugar to coat.
  10. Place the coated balls on ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  11. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and set.
  12. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

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.
