This recipe is from Baking Bites, who was inspired by the pize-winning Pillsbury Bake-Off recipe. This was a little time consuming for a cookie recipe, with the rolling of the filling and the final cookies, after the dough had been chilled. I didn’t portion the filling as well as I should have and I wound up with some leftover and I could tell that the cookies would have been better with a little more filling. This was good, but probably not a classic. I even broke my nut choper with recipe – the tines somehow become bent and no longer slide easily through the slots. I didn’t think peantus were tough nuts! I would probably just be lazy and make a regular peanut butter cookie (or my peanut butter cookie press version) instead of these. I might use the peanut butter filling in a chocolate cookie.
I like that picture! It gets you really into the heart of the cookie. =)
Peanut butter.
