Peanut butter fingers

72 Servings

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Shortening (half butter or margarine)
½ cup Peanut butter
½ cup Granulated sugar
½ cup Brown sugar; packed
1 \N Egg
1¼ cup All-purpose flour
½ teaspoon Baking powder
¾ teaspoon Soda
¼ teaspoon Salt

Mix shortening, peanut butter, sugars, and egg thoroughly. Measure flour by dipping method or by sifting. Blend all dry ingredients; stir into shortening mixture. Chill dough 1 hour. Heat oven to 375F. Using cooky press with star plate, make 2½" fingers. Bake 8 to 10 minutes. When cool, dip one end (or both) in melted chocolate (4 small plain chocolate bars), then in ¾ cup salted peanuts, crushed.

NOTES : I use milk chocolate chips in place of the chocolate bars for dipping.
