Peanut butter cookies- the drop cookie method

This is the traditional method for making a peanut butter cookie.  I prefer peanut butter chocolate chip or peanut butter butterscotch chip cookies myself, so note the addition of chocolate chips in this recipe.

Ingredients: 
1 cup Peanut butter
1/2 cup Butter
1/4 cup Butter flavor shortening (to prevent that cookie spread!)
1 cup Brown sugar
1 tsp Molasses
2 Large eggs
1 tsp Vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups AP flour
1 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 bag Chocolate chips or butterscotch chips

Method:
1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment, set aside.  In bowl of mixer, beat peanut butter, butter,  and shortening using paddle attachment.  Add in sugar and molasses, beat until light and fluffy.

2.  Add in eggs, one at a time and beat until full combined.  Add in vanilla, mix well.  All at once, add in your flour, baking soda and salt.  Mix until just combined.  Add in chocolate chips, mix until well distributed. 

3.  Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, form 1 inch balls and place 1 inch apart on cookie sheet.  Press down with spoon or hands, lightly.  Bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes, then remove from oven and allow to rest on baking sheet for 2 or 3 minutes before moving to wire rack to cool.  Repeat until all cookie dough has been used.
