Oven 375 F |
1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup Crisco shortening 1/2 cup peanut butter 1 egg

Blend together. |
1 1/4 cup flour 3/4 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt |
Stir in dry ingredients. Roll dough into ¾ inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until set, but not hard, about 8-9 minutes. The cookie may still be in a ball shape, but will flatten as it cools.
Remove from the oven and keep on the cookie sheet.

5 Hershey chocolate candy bars |
Break the candy bars into the rectangular pieces. While the cookies cool (still on the sheet), press a rectangle “treasure” into each cookie.

Laura and I first made these cookies for Christmas 2007, but they will definitely be part of our holiday traditions in the future!
