Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened1 cup peanut butter1 cup sugar1 cup packed brown sugar2 large eggs2 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon saltCHOCOLATE TOPPING:1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips1 tablespoon shorteningChopped peanuts
Preparation
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.
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.)
For topping, melt chocolate with shortening; stir until blended. Place in a heavy plastic bag; cut a small hole in the corner. Pipe a strip of chocolate down center of each cookie and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
