Instructions
In a small bowl, cream the shortening, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in milk and egg.
Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
Shape dough into 1-1/2-in. balls.
Place 3-1/2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten into 3-in. circles with a glass dipped in sugar.
Bake at 375° for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks.
In a microwave, melt peanut butter chips; stir until smooth.
Spread over half of each cookie; sprinkle with peanut brittle.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Madeira, Prosecco
Cookies works really well with Cream Sherry, Madeira, and Prosecco. Sweet bubbly Prosecco doesn't overwhelm simple sugar or shortbread cookies, a sweet cream sherry complements spiced cookies, and madeira's nutty notes match cookies with nuts perfectly. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
