Peanut butter make these delicious cookies different from other spritz. The chocolate drizzle makes them extra special. âDolores Deegan, Pottstown, Pennsylvania Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup peanut butter |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
chocolate topping: |
1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips |
1 tablespoon shortening |
chopped peanuts |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Chill for 15 minutes.
2. Using a cookie press fitted with bar disk, form dough into long strips on ungreased baking sheets. Cut each strip into 2-in. pieces(there is no need to separate the pieces). Bake at 350° for 6-8 minutes. (Watch carefully-cookies brown quickly.)
