    COOKIE DOUGH

    1 1/2  c.            flour
         1/2  c.            cocoa
         1/2  tsp.          baking soda
         1/2  c.            sugar
         1/2  c.            br. sugar
         1/2  c.            margarine
         1/4  c.            peanut butter
       1      tsp.          vanilla
       1                    egg

    FILLING
         3/4  c.            peanut butter
         3/4  c.            icing sugar

    Cream the margarine, sugar and peanut butter well.  Beat in the egg and vanilla.
    Stir in the baking soda, then the cocoa and flour.  Form this dough into 30 balls for reg. sized cookies.
    Combine the filling ingredients and form into 30 balls.  With floured hands, shape the chocolate
    ball around the peanut butter centers.  Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
    If they are not totally covered that's ok. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a drinking glass
    dipped in sugar.  Bake in a preheated oven 375 deg. for 7-9 min.
    This makes chocolate cookies with soft peanut butter centers that taste like peanut butter cups!
