Best Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Cookies Recipes

CHOCOLATE-STUFFED TOFFEE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• For the cookie dough: Whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
• Beat the granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg until combined. Beat in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add the flour mixture and mix on low until well combined.
• For the add-ins: Stir in the toffee bits with a wooden spoon until just combined.
• For the filling: Scoop 2 level tablespoons cookie dough into the palm of your hand and flatten into a 2-inch round. Stack 3 chocolate rectangles in the center of the round, then top with 1 additional level tablespoon cookie dough. Press and mold the cookie dough so that it completely covers the chocolate. Flatten the cookie slightly so it is about 1 inch tall. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough and chocolate rectangles to make about 14 cookies total (you will have leftover chocolate pieces). Divide the cookies between the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake, rotating the baking sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through cooking, until the tops are puffed and the undersides are lightly browned, about 14 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets set over cooling racks for 5 minutes. Lightly dust the tops of the cookies with confectioners' sugar, then serve while still warm.

PEANUT BUTTER STUFFED CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• In large microwavable bowl, microwave butter, chocolate chips and peanut butter uncovered on High 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Stir in cookie mix and egg until well blended. Refrigerate dough 30 minutes or until firm enough to scoop.
• Heat oven to 375°F. For each rounded measuring tablespoon dough, place 1 peanut butter cracker in center, forming dough into ball around cracker. Onto ungreased cookie sheets, place dough balls 2 inches apart.
• Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until tops are dry (cookies will still be soft). Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.
• In 1-pint resealable food-storage plastic bag, add peanut butter chips and oil; seal bag. Microwave on High 1 minute, kneading bag after 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Cut 1/8-inch slit diagonally across bottom corner of bag. Squeeze drizzle over cooled cookies. Let stand until set. Store in airtight container.
