Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 8 dozen small pretzels
  • 8 dozen small pretzel sticks
  • yellow decorators sugar , if desired (optional)

Directions:

  1. Beat peanut butter, shortening, brown sugar, honey and egg in large bowl on medium speed. Stir in flour, baking soda and baking powder. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill about 2 hours.
  2. Heat oven to 350. Shape dough into 1 balls (will be slightly sticky). For each cookie place two pretzel twists side by side with the bottoms touching on an ungreased cookie sheet. The bottom is the rounded part, this should look like wings. Place a ball of dough on the center of the pretzels and flatten slightly. Break 2 pretzel sticks in half, and gently press 3 pieces onto the body of the bee to resemble stripes. Break the last piece in half again, and poke into the head to resemble antennae. Repeat.
  3. Bake 11-13 min or light golden brown. Place on wire rack and sprinkle with yellow sugar if desired. Cool completely.
