Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) creamy peanut butter
- 1 package refrigerated cookie dough
Filling and Mix-ins:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) Reeses Pieces candies
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft a creamy peanut butter filling by blending peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until silky smooth.
- Gently fold mini chocolate chips and Reeses Pieces into the peanut butter mixture, distributing evenly throughout.
- Create small cookie dough discs, ensuring uniform thickness and circular shape.
- Position a precise dollop of prepared peanut butter mixture at the center of each dough disc.
- Carefully encase the peanut butter center by folding cookie dough edges inward, sealing completely.
- Delicately shape each filled cookie into a perfect spherical form, ensuring no filling escapes.
- Arrange cookies on a lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly to prevent merging during baking.
- Slide the baking sheet into a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven, allowing cookies to transform into golden-brown delights within 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to stabilize their structure.
- Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack, permitting them to cool completely before indulging in their decadent layers.
Notes
- Chill the peanut butter mixture for 15 minutes before stuffing to make it easier to handle and prevent messy spreading.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth blending and consistent cookie texture.
- Experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew for unique flavor variations and dietary alternatives.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cookie removal.
