"Hey guys! I'm Christy from The Girl Who Ate Everything
and I love, love, love to eat! Peanut butter and chocolate have always been a
favorite of mine. I've been guilty of eating spoonfuls of peanut butter with
chocolate chips sprinkled on top a time or two. These cookies are a more
elegant way of getting your chocolate and peanut butter fix. And if you don't
get your fix from these babies, there is no helping you!"
You are going to need a whole lot of mini peanut butter cups
for these. I went with the one for me, one for the cookies approach.
Just wrap a little peanut butter cookie dough around each one.
And, as if we didn't already have enough peanut butter and chocolate, you
dip the cookies in melted peanut butter and chocolate. Amen!

Peanut Butter Secrets
Source: Pillsbury
Ingredients:
Cookie:
1 cup butter flavored shortening
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
40 to 45 chocolate-covered miniature peanut butter cups
Glaze:
1 teaspoon butter flavored shortening
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat baking sheets lightly with no-stick cooking
spray. Combine shortening, brown sugar, granulated sugar and peanut butter in
bowl of electric mixer; beat at medium speed until well blended. Beat in egg
and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Mix into
shortening mixture at low speed until just blended. Form rounded teaspoonfuls
of dough around each peanut butter cup. Enclose entirely. Place 2 inches apart
on baking sheet. Bake cookies for 7-9 minutes, or until cookies are just
slightly browned. Remove immediately to cooling rack. Do not over bake!
Combine shortening, chocolate chips and peanut butter in microwave-safe
measuring cup. Microwave on 1 minute. Stir. Repeat until smooth. Dip cookie
tops in chocolate. Let stand until chocolate is set.
ENJOY!
Yum! Can't go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter! Love the chocolate glaze on top!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Combo- Right here! Those cookies are looking fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing these with us!
ReplyDeleteWow. These look amazing. I may have to run to the store and get the ingredients to make these today. Love PB and chocolate. And I think you made the right choice with the glaze. You can never have too much chocolate and peanut butter.
