List of Ingredients




Cookies:
1 1/3 C. firmly packed light brown sugar
½ C. butter softened
¼ C. peanut butter
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 ¼ C. Flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 C. semi-sweet or bitter-sweet chocolate bits
1 C. Reese’s peanut butter cup premium baking pieces

Coating:
1 ½ C. semi-sweet chocolate bits
1 C. peanut butter baking bits
2 tbsp. butter flavored shortening



Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees, very lightly grease cookie sheets or line with silicone baking sheets.


In a large mixing bowl cream together the brown sugar, butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy in texture.


Add salt, vanilla and eggs, blend until creamy.


Add flour and baking soda and stir just until a soft dough comes together. Stir in the chocolate bits and the peanut butter cup baking pieces.


Drop the dough by the tablespoon on the prepared cookie sheets about 1 inch apart. Bake 10 – 12 minutes, the cookies should be light golden brown and barely set in the center.


Remove from the oven, cool for about 1 minute and remove to racks to finish cooling.


Layout sheets of waxed paper, enough to hold all of the cookies without touching.


In a double boiler melt together the semi-sweet chocolate bits, the peanut butter baking bits and the shortening until perfectly smooth.


Dip each cookie into the chocolate mixture until about half the cookie is coated, gently shake the excess chocolate from the cookie and place it on the wax paper.


Allow the chocolate to set, remove the cookies from the wax paper and store in an air tight container.

Yields 36 cookies.
