A cookie exchange introduced me to these fancy peanut butter treats. They're eye-catching for the holidays and bake sales. Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
8 ounces dark chocolate candy coating, coarsely chopped |
2/3 cup ground salted peanuts |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the peanut butter, butter, shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the dry ingredients; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
2. Shape into 2-in. logs. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
3. In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Dip one end of each cookie into coating; allow excess to drip of. Dip into peanuts. Place on waxed paper to set. Yield: about 8-1/2 dozen.
