Peanut Butter & Cookie Knots image

These braided pastries are filled with chunks of cookies and peanut butter. They are great for dessert or with your morning coffee. You could use any type of chocolate cookie or candy, which would pair well with peanut butter. For something new, try swapping out the peanut butter for hazelnut spread. -Daniel Carberg, Roxbury, New Hampshire
