Peanut Surprise Cookies image

These cookies are very easy to make with ingredients usually found in the pantry with the exception of chocolate covered caramel candies. I hope you like them. My family absolutely loves these cookies. I usually only make them at Christmas time so they are special.

Time 1h15m

Yield 42

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup margarine, softened
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup white sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
⅔ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 (8.75 ounce) bag chocolate covered creamy caramel candies
¼ cup white sugar for decoration

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, peanut butter, 1/2 cup white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into the peanut butter mixture. Cover and chill dough until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Roll chilled dough into 1 inch balls. Press a caramel candy into the center of each ball so that it is completely covered with dough. Roll balls in remaining sugar and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until set. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
