Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookies

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Yield: 10 large cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 bag (17.5oz) cookie mix, made to its instructions
• peanut brittle or peanut M&M's

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 F. In a large bowl, combine peanut butter and powdered sugar and mix until smooth.

 
2. Roll into 1 1/2" balls (about 10 of them) and place on a tray lined with parchment paper. Pop in the freezer while you make the cookie dough.

 
3. Make the cookie dough to package directions (or use your own favourite recipe). Place a heaping tablespoon of the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten into a disc. Repeat.

4. Take the peanut butter balls out of the freezer and drop one into the center of each disc.

 
5. Drop a little dollop of cookie dough on top of the frozen peanut butter ball, then pinch the dough seams closed all the way around. Repeat with the rest.

 
6. Add a couple M&M's to the tops. Press them in slightly and they are ready to bake.

 
7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until edges are golden brown.

8. Allow to cool a bit before serving. Enjoy warm or completely cooled.

 
9. If you serve them warm, the peanut butter will ooze out gently, but not leak out.
10. I made a few smaller ones without tops. They were a nice variation, with the peanut butter filling exposed. They are like cookies with peanut butter fudge on top!
