Peanut Butter-Filled Chocolate Cookies image

Seriously - if you love peanut butter and chocolate these cookes are a MUST try. Imagine a wonderful chewy chocolate cookie with a creamy peanut butter filling - it is as good as it sounds. The recipe is from Toronto Star. We made them today and they will be on our cookie tray for years to come - for sure! The recipe mentions that the cookie does well with a 15 second reheat in the microwave on day 3. I don't think we will get to try that in this household.

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup icing sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F / 180 C.

  • In two additions beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture, scrape down sides.
  • Form into 24 balls each about 1 1/2 tbsp size.
  • Filling - In small bowl stir together icing sugar and peanut butter. Form into 24 balls, each about 1 tsp size.
  • Between damp hands flatten 1 chocolate ball, top with 1 peanut butter ball. Shape chocolate dough over peanut filling until completely covered. Roll dough into ball. Repeat with remaining chocolate and peanut balls.
  • Place balls 1 inch apart on 2 parchment lined cookie sheets. Flatten slightly with bottom of glass to about 2 inches (5 cm).
  • Bake in oven for 8-10 min until just set. Cool 1 min on tray before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
