Makes: 5 dozen

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled

Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugars. Beat in egg and vanilla.
2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. 
3. Divide dough into thirds. Add chocolate chips to one portion, peanut butter to another and melted chocolate to the third portion.
