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 the perfect size for a quick snack. I love that they're not too sweet. I've even used them to make ice cream sandwiches.

I love the way these cookies turn out. They're always so soft and chewy. I've even frozen them and they still tasted great.
