Chocolate Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies

Chocolate Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies Constantly, I am trying out new to me cookie recipes. Always looking for cookies that will make the grade for my annual Christmas cookie tray and for new cookies for the firefighters to rate. They enjoyed this one! Thanks Ashley. Original recipe found here. Printable recipe below on key ingredient card.

Begin by whisking your dry ingredients together, and set aside. Now combine your butter, sugar, brown sugar and peanut butter in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until light and fluffy. Add your egg and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture and mix gently to combine. In another bowl combine the peanut butter and the confectioners sugar. Now pinch off about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate dough, flatten it, and add a teaspoon of the peanut butter dough to the center. Seal edges, roll lightly into a ball, then roll into granulated sugar. Place on parchment covered baking sheet, flatten slightly, and bake at 375 for 7-9 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes and remove to rack to cool completely. Scrumptious morsel of a cookie with a buckeye like filling.

Doesn't that just grab you? Chocolate and peanut butter a sinfully delicious combination! Make them today, your children , family , co-workers will thank you!

  2. Those cookies are mouthwathering to look at.
    I can't wait to give this recipe a try.
    Thanks for sharing it.

    P.S.: I think I will also try using nutella spread in place of the peanut butter for part of the batch.

  4. I have a feeling most of that filling would end up in my belly instead of in the cookies.

  7. I tried a similar recipe last Christmas, but mine spread very thin while baking. Yours are gorgeous! I've already added them to the list for this Christmas!

    I was so glad to have you stop by my blog the other day! I haven't seen you around in a while. Good luck on the giveaway!!

  8. These sounded really amazing on this rainy night it Virginia Beach! So, I am actually in the process of making them, and I could not get the peanut butter & powdered sugar mixture to be smooth! Help!
