#777 - Milk Duds Cookies

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 1/2 cups Crisco (butter flavor)
1 1/2 cups Jif smooth peanut butter
2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups Domino's dark brown sugar (packed)
4 eggs
3 3/4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1 - 10oz. package Milk Duds chocolate candy


In a mixer add Crisco, peanut butter, 1 1/2 cups white sugar and brown sugar--beat. Add eggs--beat. In a bowl add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt--stir. Add flour mixture slowly to the batter--beat. Remove the bowl from the mixer and refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove batter from refrigerator. Place the remaining 1/2 cup white sugar in a bowl--set aside. Use a tablespoon--pick up a tablespoon full of cookie dough and shape it around ONE milk dud, then roll it into a ball in your hands. Drop the cookie ball in the bowl with the white sugar and roll it to coat. Repeat with all dough and milk duds. Place cookie balls 2" apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. It's a good idea to do a test cookie if you haven't made these before as baking times will vary.
