PEANUT SWIRLS 
1/2 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. chunk style peanut butter
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 c. sifted flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tbsp. milk
1/2 pkg. chocolate chips

Cream shortening, sugar, peanut butter, egg, and vanilla. Add sifted dry ingredients with milk. Roll out cookie dough to rectangle 1/4 inch thick. Melt chocolate bits over hot water and cool slightly. Spread on rolled cookie dough. Roll jelly roll fashion and chill 1/2 hour. Slice with a sharp knife into thin slices. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Yields 5-6 dozen. I usually double this recipe.
