Everyone in my family craves these fancy-looking, dipped cookies because they satisfy the need for something chocolaty, crunchy, sweet and nutty, all in just one bite!Irma Lowery, Reedsburg, Wisconsin Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 milk chocolate candy bars (4 ounces each), chopped |
1 cup finely chopped unsalted peanuts |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
