Whirligig Cookies

This is a recipe from my boss. We request these cookies as often as we can get away with. I have always loved the combination of chocolate and peanut butter and this recipe does not disappoint. P.S. Let them get golden brown on the edges...YUM!

1 C. shortening
1 C. sugar
1 C. brown sugar, packed
1 C. peanut butter
1 12oz. package chocolate chips
1 1/2 C. sifted flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs unbeaten

Cream shortening, sugars and peanut butter thoroughly. Add eggs. Beat until light and fluffy. Mix dry ingredients and add egg mixture. Blend well. Melt chocolate chops over hot, not boiling water or in a microwave. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Roll between sheets of waxed paper to 1/4 inch thick or less. Spread melted chocolate on rolled dough with a spatula. Roll up like a jelly roll and chill about 1 hour. Slice 1/2 inch thick slices. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes.
