This recipe came out of a Valdosta newspaper back in the 1970s. Makes 8 dozen delicious cookies and will not only fill your cookie jar up, but will fill you up and put a smile on your face. Looks like a lot of ingredients, but is easy to bake.
1 1/3 cups shortening
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 beaten eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt (omit the salt if oleo is used) told you it was old
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup milk
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
Cream shortening and sugar, add eggs, beat well. Sift flour with baking powder and salt. Add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Add flavoring, pecans and peanut butter. Mix well. Drop by teaspoon onto greased cookie sheet. Place cookies one inch apart. Bake in preheated 300 - 325 degree oven until lightly browned. Let set a few minutes, then remove to a sheet of brown paper until cool.
