PEANUT BUTTER SECRETS 
COOKIE:

1 c. butter flavor Crisco
3/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. Jif creamy peanut butter
Egg
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
40-45 chocolate-covered miniature peanut butter cups

GLAZE:

1 tsp. butter flavor Crisco
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp. Jif creamy peanut butter

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease baking sheet with butter flavor Crisco. For cookie, combine butter flavor Crisco, brown sugar, granulated sugar and Jif creamy peanut butter in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended.

Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Mix into creamed mixture at low speed until just blended. Form round teaspoons of dough around each peanut butter cup. Close entirely. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until cookies are just browned. Remove immediately to cooling rack.

For glaze: Combine butter flavor Crisco, chocolate chips and Jif in microwave- safe cup. Microwave at 50%, stirring after 1 minute. Repeat until smooth. Dip tops of cookie in chocolate. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen cookies.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
