DIPPED PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Yields about 5 dozen

1 c. peanut butter

1 - 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 c. baking mix (Bisquick or similar)

3/4 - 1 lb. milk chocolate confectionery coating (almond bark)

1 Tbl. shortening

In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, milk, egg, and vanilla; beat until smooth.  Stir in baking mix and mix until combined.  Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.  Shape into 1" balls and place 1" apart on ungreased baking sheets.  Flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass.  Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool on wire racks.  In a small saucepan over low heat, melt confectionery coating and shortening.  Dip each cookie halfway into chocolate; shake off excess.  Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets to harden.  Yum!
