Hi everyone! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. I’m back to share another fun family recipe with you all today, our favorite peanut butter cookie recipe . Are you excited about 2014?? I sure am. I love the feeling of a fresh start & when January 1st hit- I was ready to jump back into the kitchen & let the creativity flow. While I was in there I decided to play with an old family favorite & make it more fun. Sometimes just changing one little thing can be enough to have the whole family coming back for more & more. This time I decided to take another look at our peanut butter cookie recipe & make them literally a one bite treat.

  Making these bite size made them a new favorite for me. Just pop & go.

Really – when they fit in the palm of your hand you can grab several- snack as you go & since they are so small, it’s really like only eating one or two regular size cookies. So less guilt too. Can’t beat that.

Ingredients
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup shortening
  • 1-1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

  • 1 large egg (for crisp cookies- omit egg)
  • 1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¼ - ½ cup mini chocolate chips
