Time 21m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar (less 2 Tablespoons)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 teaspoons shortening

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in peanut butter, egg, and vanilla. Gradually stir in combined flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well.
  • Roll heaping teaspoons of dough into 1-1/2-inch balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. (If dough is too soft to roll into balls, refrigerate for 30 minutes.) Dip fork into sugar; press crisscross indentation on each ball, flattening only slightly. Bake 11 to 12 minutes. Let cookies stand on cookie sheets for 2 minutes. Remove cookies to wire rack; cool completely.
  • Melt semisweet chocolate with 1-1/2 teaspoons shortening in top of double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. Place melted chocolate in baggie and snip bottom corner to create a small opening. Squeeze slowly to decorate cookies with a dragonfly design or create your own design.
  • Makes: about 2 to 2-1/2 dozen cookies.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy. I always have a lot of candy left over after Halloween, so I like to make these cookies to use it up.

I love the fact that these cookies can be made ahead of time. I often make a batch on the weekend and then freeze them for later.

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I loved these cookies. They're so soft and chewy, and the peanut butter flavor is subtle but still noticeable.

I've tried many peanut butter cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The peanut butter flavor is also spot-on.
