Cloverleaf Cookies

Directions

1. 1
   Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. 2
   In large bowl cream brown sugar, sugar, margarine and shortening until light and fluffy.
3. 3
   Blend in vanilla and egg.
4. 4
   Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (is using) and mix well.
5. 5
   Divide dough into 3 parts. Place in small bowls. (Note - I make two of the parts a little bit larger than one as you will be adding 1/4 cup peanut butter to it and there always seems to be more of that mixture left at the end otherwise).
6. 6
   Add chocolate chips it one part, peanut butter to second (smaller portion) and melted chocolate to the third.
7. 7
   Refrigerate dough for about 30 minutes for easier handling.
8. 8
   Shape approximately 1 tsp of each dough into a ball. To form each cookie place one of each flavour balls cloverleaf style onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until set. Let cool for a few minutes before carefully removing from cookie sheets. This is important as these cookies can be fragile at first.
