| In a large mixing 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. 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-safe bowl, melt candy bars; stir until smooth. Dip one end of each cookie into chocolate, then into peanuts. Place on waxed paper, let stand until set. | ||
