Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
¼ cup molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup raisins
1 cup salted peanuts
⅓ cup peanut butter
1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and margarine. Stir in the molasses, vanilla and egg yolk. Add flour, mix until combined. Press dough into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown.
