4 Dozen

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Butter, softened
1 cup Packed brown sugar
1 cup Smooth peanut butter
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 cups All-pupose flour
1 teaspoon Baking soda
½ teaspoon Salt
6 ounces Semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon Butter

Directions

FILLING

In large bowl, beat butter until fluffy; gradually beat in sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in peanut butter, egg and vanilla until smooth.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually mix half into peanut butter mixture. Using hands, mix in remaining flour mixture to form stiff dough; refrigerate for 45 minutes.

Filling: Meanwhile, melt chocolate with butter in bowl over hot (not boiling) water. Let cool.

Divide dough in half. On lightly floured surface, roll each half into 10x8-inch rectangle. Spread each rectangle with half of the chocolate mixture.

Starting from the long side, roll up each rectangle jelly-roll style to form 2 long rolls. Wrap separately, seam side down, in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 8 hours or up to 12 hours.

Using sharp knife, cut into ¼-inch thick slices. Place 1-½ inch apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake in 375F 190C oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Transfer to rack; let cool. (Can be stored in airtight container for up to 1 week.) Source: Canadian Living magazine [Jul 95] Originator: Holly Thomas, Brampton, Ontario, Canada Per Cookie: about 120 calories, 2 g protein, 8 g fat, 12 g carbohydrate
