Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookie on plate These cookies are for peanut butter lovers! They are peanut butter cookies, stuffed with a gooey peanut butter mixture, topped with peanut brittle M&M's. You can swap out the peanut butter cookie exterior with any type of cookie dough you like. I also like a chocolate chip cookie exterior variation. For this recipe, I used a cookie mix, made to its directions on the back. You can get creative with these. These cookies are pretty huge, so you can split one to share with a loved one and watch them ooze!

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:

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

If you serve them warm, the peanut butter will ooze out gently, but not leak out.
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!
