Look what I did.
I stuffed chocolate fudge cookies together with a peanut buttery cookie filling. I did this, fell in love, and died a happy woman. Kidding! Obviously. But these are seriously delicious.
These cookies are ooey-gooey, resemble a brownie and are stuffed with peanut butter. Hello, beautiful. Thank goodness my sister was here to help me make these, or I would have eaten all the batter!
To make the peanut butter filling, begin by placing peanut butter and sugar into a medium bowl, mix to combine.
Then add egg, mixing until well combined. Set aside.
For chocolate cookie, beat butter and sugars until well combined with an electric mixer (or stand mixer).
Add eggs and vanilla, beating until well combined.
Place flour, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Add to wet ingredients along with cocoa powder, and chocolate chips.
Slowly mix ingredients until just combined.
With a small cookie scoop, scoop peanut butter cookie dough into your hand.
With a medium cookie scoop, scoop chocolate dough on top and on bottom of peanut butter dough.
With hands, press chocolate dough around peanut butter dough, forming into a cookie shape.
Place onto prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart from each other.
Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until cooked through. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely. Life is hard.

It’s ironic that I just clicked on this post b/c I have been editing pics for over an hour on a chocolate and PB recipe I’m posting in a few days. You make me even hungrier for choc & Pb now! :)
Mmm can’t wait to see your cookie. I am pretty sure I’ve bookmarked every cookie recipe you’ve posted since I’ve started reading your blog!
Wouldn’t Poppa love this, as a chocolate chip cookie is his favorite and peanut butter goes so quickly in our home. Now I’ll have to buy the big pb to last the month. Love your idea also really like your new blog design.<3
