If you are a peanut butter lover ~ this is a chocolate cookie filled with peanut butter then you are going to love this one~ I thought maybe they would be difficult, but the filling rolls into a ball easily to mold around the cookie batter.
Roll the dough into a ball and flatten it in the palm of you hand then add the peanut butter ball, viola you have a filled cookie that is awesome!
Flatten with the palm of your hand and watch them transform into a delightful taste of a perfect cookie in every bite.
These are also great travelers and pack well.

Flatten with the back of a glass or palm of your hand. Keep washing your hands if they become sticky. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees until set around 6 to8 minutes do not overbake, or the cookie will be dry . Cool completely, dust with confectionery sugar.
