Ready In: 36 mins
Yields: 40 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups sifted flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter or 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling
- 1 (6 ounce) package semisweet chocolate morsels
- 1 teaspoon butter
Directions
- Sift flour with soda and salt.
- Set aside.
- Beat butter until fluffy.
- Beat in sugar.
- Beat in peanut butter, egg, and vanilla.
- At low speed, add half flour mixture.
- Mix in the rest by hand to form a stiff dough.
- Refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the filling (I am told that one can easily melt chocolate chips in a microwave, but I have not tried it. If you know how to do it, have at it!) Melt chocolate over hot (NOT BOILING) water, add butter.
- Cool.
- Divide dough in half.
- Roll each half into a 8x10 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- Spread each with half the filling.
- From the long side, roll each rectangle tightly like a jelly roll.
- Gently press edge to seal.
- Wrap separately, seam side down, in saran wrap or foil.
- Refrigerate until firm, about 8 hours or overnight before slicing and baking.
- (They will keep in the fridge for a little over a week.) Preheat oven to 375, and place 1/2 inch slices 1 1/2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Let cool for a few minutes on sheet, then cool on wire rack.
- Makes 40 cookies all together.
