Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

This lovely recipe comes from The Great America Cookie Cookbook, which I got for Christmas one year. I love this recipe and have to admit I think I ate a dozen of these cookies the day I made them. Oops :)

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup shortening

1/2 Peanut Butter

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 egg

1 1/4 cups flour

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 cups Chocolate Chips

Granulated sugar

Heat over 375.

Beat butter, shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, 1/2 c granulated sugar, and egg in a large bowl until fluffy. Stir together flour, baking soda and baking powder; stir into butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.

Shape into 1-inch balls, place on ungreased cookie sheet. With fork dipped in granulated sugar flatten in criss-cross pattern.

Bake 9 to 11 mins, cool slightly and remove from cookie sheet.

In a medium bowl combine chicken, cheese, milk and pepper

Spread 1/2 cup of mixture onto each lasagna noodle, roll jelly-roll style

In a 9x13" baking dish spread 1 cup spaghetti sauce

Arrange Lasagna Rolls seam down in sauce

Top with remaining sauce

Cover

Bake at 375 for 30 mins

Serve with Parmesan Cheese if desired
