Upon my husband's request for peanut butter and cookies, and my idea to bake brownies, I was in search of a brownie cookie recipe. I came across this one and decided to try it. They are amazing! No one can stop after just one cookie.

Love these! I also altered the filling to 1/2 powdered sugar, 1/4 peanu tbutter, 2 tablespoons soft butter, and 1 tablespoon of honey (this is the secret to making the filling to taste like a Reeses PB cup.). Great Recipe!!

Love these cookies!! I altered the peanut butter filling a little.. used a 1/2 cup powered sugar 1/4 cup peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Cut back on the really rich peanut flavor. They are a definite hit with the kids and adults! So easy to make.

I just happened to find this recipe and am always wanting to try something new. Had all ingredients on hand so thought...why not. BOY OH BOY...I am the most popular mom @ my sons youth group at church. And the kids have renamed them....They are now affectionatly called "Christmas in your Mouth cookies" They are now a staple in my kitchen.

These are the BEST cookies. My childrens church kids loved these cookies because they got the best of both worlds... peanut butter & chocolate! I have been asked to make some for work, I did not put the frosting on and they were still just wonderful!!

Great cookies. I will make these for Christmas gift giving. The peanut butter filling reminds me of my mom's peanut butter eggs she used to make.

Use parchment paper and they slide right off. The cookie doesnt spread that much so you may want to flatten them out some. Make the peanutbutter ball small b/c they stay gooey and has alot of flavor. Excellent with milk!

Cookie tastes great!!! I cooked first batch on ungreased cookie sheet as per directions and let cookies cool on it. I ended up with cemented cookies. Next batch I used wax paper, cooled again on cookie sheets, tried to peel off wax paper and it stuck. Third and final try, i used parchment paper, with cooking spray. This made it easer. I also took the cookies off after only a minute of cooling.

This recipe caught my eye so I decided to try it out and whaddya know, easier than I thought! I like that the peanut butter sits on top instead of being just mixed in like a normal cookie, makes it really soft and chewy. I made a double batch and good thing I did, they were gone in minutes! Bring me more like this!

Okay, this is my new favorite cookie to bake! I love chocolate and peanut butter, and the way this bakes up, both parts of the cookie are soft and chewy which is amazing!
