  2-5 hrs

ingredients

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup honey
1 egg
1 3/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
96 pretzel twists
96 pretzel sticks

directions

Beat peanut butter, shortening, brown sugar, honey and egg in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, baking soda and baking powder. Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours or until firm.

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls (dough will be slightly sticky). For each cookie, place 2 pretzel twists side by side with the bottoms (the bottom comes to a rounded point, similar to the bottom of a heart shape) touching on ungreased cookie sheet.

Place 1 ball of dough on center and flatten slightly. Break 2 pretzel sticks in half. Gently press 3 pretzel stick halves into dough for stripes on bee. Break fourth pretzel piece in half. Poke pieces into 1 end of dough for antennae.

Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
