Chocolate Star Cookies

I found these Chocolate stars at Target in the cooking section where you buy the chocolate chips. I was going to bake them for Christmas but I forgot I had them. You can find the recipe here and on the back of the bag. When you make them make sure you make small balls of dough, because the cookie will spread. They are very good.  I decided to made them tonight just because sometimes I just need to bake.

Chocolate Star Cookies

½ cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

Granulated sugar for rolling
1 bag Brach’s Chocolate Stars

Combine butter, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in a bowl. Beat in peanut butter. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended. Beat egg into creamed mixture.
Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Mix into creamed mixture until just blended.
Pinch of pieces of dough and roll into one inch balls. Roll the balls in sugar and place one inch apart on ungreased baking sheet.
