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.
