How to Make Milk Dud Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup Crisco shortening, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Roll approximately 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball around each Milk Dud candy, ensuring it's fully covered.
  8. Roll the dough balls in the remaining ½ cup granulated sugar.
  9. Place the cookies on ungreased baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (Keep a close eye on them, as oven temperatures vary).
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
