All-purpose flour
2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. shortening
1 egg
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
1/4 c. peanut butter
2 tbsp. butter, softened

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In large bowl with mixer at medium speed, beat 1 cup flour and the next 6 ingredients until well mixed, scraping bowl occasionally. Wash beaters.

In small bowl with mixer at medium speed, beat 3 tablespoons flour and remaining ingredients until well mixed. Mixture will be crumbly.

Drop chocolate dough by teaspoonfuls 1 inch apart onto cookie sheet; top each with 1/2 teaspoon peanut butter dough. Dip a fork into flour and press gently across the top of each cookie. Bake 12 minutes or until firm. Remove to racks to cool. Makes 3-4 dozen.

NOTE: Chill the dough and then roll balls as for regular peanut butter cookies. Cookies are more even looking.
