Chocolate and Peanut Drop Cookie

For chocolate and peanut butter lovers out there, this cookie combines the two awesome flavors.

3 c quick cooking oats

1 c creamy peanut butter

1 tsp vanilla

4 tsp vegetable shortening

1/3 c peanuts

1/3 c water

3/4 c softened butter

1 1/2 c semi sweet chocolate chips

1 1/2 c firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 c all purpose flour

1 egg

Beat the brown sugar, peanut butter and butter until combined.

Mix in the vanilla, egg and water.

Combine the oats, flour and baking soda together in a separate bowl.

Now combine both mixtures together using the mixer.

Drop the dough by a heaping tablespoon size on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the cookies from the oven and place the baking sheet on a wire rack to cool for a couple of minutes and after that, place the cookies directly on the wire rack to cool completely.

Chop the peanuts to small pieces.

Using a small saucepan set to medium heat, melt the vegetable shortening and chocolate together, stirring constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Top each cookie with the chocolate and crushed peanuts.
