Peanut Butter Brownie Cookies
Excellent chocolate cookie recipe stuffed with peanut butter and drizzled with more chocolate.
Ingredients
COOKIE BASE:
- One 20-ounce box brownie mix (Duncan Hines brand family size works)
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
- 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 large egg
PEANUT BUTTER FILLING:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE:
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
PREPARE THE COOKIE BASE:
- Place the cookie base ingredients in a medium bowl and beat by hand until they are well blended. Drop the dough onto ungreased cookie sheets about 2-inches apart. You should be able to make 24 cookies.
PREPARE THE PEANUT BUTTER FILLING:
- In a small bowl, mix filling ingredients together and roll into 24 balls. Lightly press peanut butter balls into the surface of the uncooked brownie cookies and bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges are set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and place some waxed paper underneath.
ADD THE CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE:
- Place the drizzle ingredients in glass bowl and microwave for about 1 minute. Stir and then microwave a little bit more; stir again until the chocolate is smooth and will be easy to drizzle. Scoop it into a zip baggie and snip the corner. Squeeze the bag and drizzle over the cookies. Let the cookies sit until the chocolate has a chance to set (or refrigerate them to speed up the process).
