    List of Ingredients




    For the cookies:
    1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
    2 squares (2 oz.) unsweetened chocolate
    1 cup sugar
    1/2 cup butter or shortening
    2 eggs
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda

    For the garnish:
    3/4 cup finely chopped peanuts
    36 miniature Peanut Butter Cups, frozen and unwrapped
    1 cup peanut butter baking chips
    1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine chocolate in bowl and microwave at 50% for about 2 minutes, stir and repeat until smooth and melted. Cool slightly. Combine sugar and butter or shortening in large bowl. Beat at medium speed with electric mixer until blended and crumbly. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then salt and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add chocolate slowly. Mix until well blended. Stir in flour and soda with spoon until well blended. Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. Roll in chopped peanuts. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Press a frozen peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie immediately upon removing them from the oven. Press cookies up against peanut butter cup if
    desired for appearance, but do not touch the
    peanut butter cup again since it is now
    melted, it must remain intact. Cool completely.
    Melt the peanut butter chips and drizzle back
    and forth over the cookies using a parchment
    pouch or plastic bag with a little snip off
    the corner. Repeat with the chocolate, only
    drizzling at another angle from the peanut
    drizzle.
