Source of Recipe


Source: Cooking at a Glance - Cookies


List of Ingredients




1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

1/2 cup chunky peanut butter

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 egg

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

One 12-ounce package semisweet chocolate pieces

2 teaspoons shortening



Recipe



In a large mixing bowl beat the butter or margarine and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar and baking soda; beat till combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon.


Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place balls 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.


Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or till cookies are set and lightly browned on the bottom. Remove cookies from pan and cool on a rack.


In a medium, heavy saucepan heat chocolate and shortening over low heat till melted. Cool slightly. Using a fork, dip peanut butter balls, one at a time, into chocolate mixture to coat. Transfer to waxed paper lined cookie sheets. Chill till firm. Store in a cool place.
