Ingredients

6 tb Butter

1 tb Shortening

1 tb Corn syrup, light

1/2 c Brown sugar firm packed

1 Egg

6 squares Chocolate (semisweet)

1 c Flour, all purpose unsifted

3/4 c Peanut butter chunk style

1/8 ts Cinnamon

2/3 c Peanuts, unsalted chopped

1/8 ts Baking Powder

1/3 c Sugar

1/4 ts Baking soda


Directions

Grease 2 large baking sheets. In large bowl, with mixer, beat butter, peanut butter, and brown and granulated sugars until well combined; beat in egg. Slowly beat in flour, bake soda, bake powder, and cinnamon just until combined to make soft dough. Form dough into 40 1-in. balls (about 2 t dough per cookie). Roll balls in peanuts until coated. Place balls on greased bake sheets about 2 in. apart and press to form 2 in. rounds. When most cookies are shaped, heat oven to 350 bake 6-8 min or until cookies are lightly browned on edges. Cool completely on wire racks. In top of double boiler over simmering water, melt chocolate and shortening; stir in corn syrup until well combined. Dip each cookie halfway into chocolate mixture and place on baking sheets in single layer; freeze until chocolate hardens. Store cookies in airtight container in freezer until ready to use.
