Peanut Butter Shortbread

I made this recipe in the mid-afternoon.


Ingredients
1 c. dried peanut butter (powdered - I bought mine online)
1 c. whole wheat flour
½ c. a-p flour
½ c. granulated sugar
1 c. vegetable shortening, chilled
6 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
1 T agave syrup

nonstick spray

Directions
Preheat oven to 375F.
Thoroughly mix peanut butter powder, flours, and sugar.
Cut shortening into dry ingredients well. Press into baking pan.
Bake min. 20 minutes until shortbread begins to brown on top.
Remove from oven. While still warm, cut into serving size cookies.
Cool completely in pan.

Place chocolate chips in microwavable bowl and spray with cooking spray. Stir to coat.
Melt chocolate in microwave, cooking 10 seconds at a time and stirring in between until chocolate becomes liquid. Stir in agave syrup.
Drizzle over shortbread.
Allow chocolate to cool.

Remove shortbread from baking pan with spatula or dull knife.
Store in dry, airtight container, between sheets of waxed paper.
