3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 (4 ounce) milk chocolate candy bars, chopped |
1 cup unsalted peanuts, finely chopped |
Directions:
1. In large mixing bowl, cream butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in egg and vanilla.
3. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.
4. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
5. Using a cookie press fitted with a star disk, press dough 2 inches apart into long strips on an ungreased baking sheets.
6. Cut each strip into 2-inch pieces (do not separate pieces).
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown.
