The sultry chocolate spread is the perfect compliment to the nutty nuance of the crisp. A sprinkling of chopped peanuts to finish really enhances the peanut butter flavor.
Yield:36 cookies
Ingredients
1 egg
1 cup peanut butter
4 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate
2 tbsp Cream
1 tbsp water
4 tsp chopped peanuts
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Butter a cookie pan or line with parchment paper. Mix together the egg, sugar, peanut butter. Chill if necessary to obtain consistency to roll into a ball. Form balls with a rounded teaspoon of dough and place on cookie pan. With the bottom of a glass, dipped in sugar, press the ball down into a 2” disk. Bake for 12 minutes or until done.
Let cool.
In the top of a double boiler, combine the chocolate, cream and water. Heat slowly, then stir to smooth. Spoon ½ tsp of the chocolate ganache onto each cookie. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
