Recipe / Priscilla Tsai / Cookie Peanut butter-stuffed chocolate chip cookies
Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Mon, May 2, 2011 at 8:00 AM
What's better than dessert?
TWO desserts!
These cookies are like two desserts in one. Chocolate chip cookie dough batter is wrapped around a Reese's-like peanut butter ball. Eating the resulting cookie is like stuffing a chocolate chip cookie and a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in your mouth at the same time. I guess you could do that and get the same effect, but this is a much more civilized way of doing it.
Pick your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe for the dough. I used the Toll House recipe. You can find it here. I chilled the dough overnight to make it easier to work with.
For the peanut butter part, combine 1 cup of peanut butter with 1 cup of powdered sugar. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and set aside.
To form the cookies, roll a bit of cookie dough into a golf ball-sized ball. Then create a little indent in the middle, while also flattening it a bit, using your pinch-pot skills from elementary school. Place a peanut butter ball in the middle, roll chocolate chip cookie dough around it enclosing the filling completely, and then roll it between your palms to create a nice little round ball. Repeat until all dough is gone.
Place the cookie dough balls 2 inches apart on parchment or silpat-lined cookie sheets. Bake according to chocolate chip cookie recipe.
They're best when eaten warm. I'm sure you can imagine how deliciously ooey gooey they are fresh out of the oven.
