Peanut Butter Spritz Fingers Recipe

Prep: 25 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min./batch + cooling

Yield: 53 Servings

25 10 35

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 milk chocolate candy bars (4 ounces each), chopped
1 cup finely chopped unsalted peanuts

Directions

In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
Using a cookie press fitted with a star disk, press dough 2 in. apart into long strips on ungreased baking sheets. Cut each strip into 2-in. pieces (do not separate pieces).
Bake at 350° for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
In a microwave, melt candy bars; stir until smooth. Dip one end of each cookie into chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Coat with peanuts. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Yield: about 4 dozen.
