For a richer flavor, use European-style butter instead of margarine. If you don't have port wine, you can substitute with a tablespoon of brandy or dark rum. To prevent the cookies from spreading too much, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. For a festive touch, sprinkle the cookies with coarse sea salt after adding the chocolate and peanut butter chips.

StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

StepIn a medium bowl, cream together the softened margarine and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and port wine until well combined. (7 minutes)
