Ever since Mr. Reese came up with the idea to pair peanut butter with chocolate, this taste sensation has become an All American favorite (except for my friend Gigi who hates peanutbutter!)... so when i saw this recipe for
Peanut Butter Munchies i couldnt wait to try it out! These cookies bake up nice and moist with a rich peanut butter center, perfect with a big glass of milk. Each of these cookies is about 2 1/2 inches wide so they arent really large cookies which is good because they are kind of rich. I made the peanut butter centers the night before to save me some time. I just rolled them up (used a small melon baller scoop) and put them in a tupperware container. The next day i mixed up the chocolate cookie dough and scooped some out (used a 1 1/2 scoop) into the palm of my hand and flattened it out. Next i placed the peanut butter ball in the center and kind of wrapped it up in the chocolate dough then rolled it round. For the tops i used raw sugar instead of granulated sugar to get a more sparkly look and some extra crunch. This recipe is part of the Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Cookie Collection and would be a terrific treat any time of the year. Enjoy!
