Be careful not to overbake these giant cookies or they'll be hard, not chewy. Serve them warm from the oven with a glass of cold milk for a great after-school snack.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt together in large bowl until smooth. In a separate bowl combine the flour and baking soda. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture while beating. Shape into balls using 3 tablespoons dough. Press to 1/2-inch thickness on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake about 18 to 20 minutes or until edges are lightly brown.
