Chocolate-Peanut Windmills
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine — softened
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate — melted and cooled
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely chopped peanuts
Beat sugar, butter, shortening, vanilla and egg in large bowl with
electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in chocolate. Stir
in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or
until firm.
Heat oven to 400ş. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into rectangle, 12
× 9 inches, on lightly floured cloth-covered surface. Sprinkle each
rectangle with half of the peanuts; gently press into dough. Cut dough
into 3-inch squares. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Cut squares diagonally from each corner almost to center. Fold every other
point to center to resemble pinwheel. Bake about 6 minutes or until set.
Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
A great way to evenly cut cookie dough is to use a pizza cutter
and a plastic ruler.
“I Don’t Have That”
Instead of using chopped peanuts, cover the cookie dough with
candy sprinkles.
