Cooking Recipe Peanut Butter Twists

Recipe Ingredients

1 c All-purpose flour

2 tb Sugar

1/2 ts Salt

1/3 c Vegetable shortening

3 oz Cream cheese

2 ts Milk

1/4 c Peanut butter

3 tb Apple butter

Directions

1. In a small mixing bowl, sift the flour with sugar and salt.
Add shortening, cream cheese and milk. Mix on lowest speed of an
electric mixer until dough begins to form well. Shape into a ball.

2. Roll out on floured surface to a 20 x 8 inch rectangle. Cut in
half to make two 10 x 8-inch rectangles.

3. Spread one half with peanut butter (try crunchy peanut butter if
you wish); top with the apple butter. Place the second half of dough
on top of first. Brush with milk and sprinkle with a little bit of
granulated sugar.

4. Cut into strips 5 x 1/2 inches. Gently twist twice. Place on
well-greased cookie sheets and bake in preheated 400-degree oven for
7-10 minutes or until light golden brown. Do not overbake. Serve warm
or at room temperature.

Makes 30 twists.
