This recipe was so much fun to make!!! I made this one, and the one below, for a couple of cookie exchanges I have this week, and I am sure these guys will be a hit. A chewy chocolate cookie coating surrounding finger-lickin' good peanut butter filling.... Is that the smell of perfection????

Ingredients:

Chocolate Cookie Coating

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1 egg
1 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp baking soda
chocolate chips

Peanut Butter Filling
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup icing sugar
1 tbsp corn starch

Steps:

Filling
- Beat peanut butter and butter until smooth. Blend in icing sugar and cornstach until combines.
- Spoon onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Use the wrap to roll the filling into a 2 cm thick log. Freeze for 10 minutes.

Chocolate Cookie Coating

- Beat butter with sugars and peanut butter. Beat in egg, milk, and vanilla.
- Stir flour with cocoa and baking soda. Stir into butter mixture with spoon. Refrigerate.

Combination

- Slice peanut butter log into 32 pieces.
- Using a 1/2 tbsp measure scoop out chocolate dough and form into patties.
- Place a peanut butter slice on top of the patty and close the edges, rolling into a ball. Roll in sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly.


- Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.

  2. This is really interesting! Love the process, and it ends up chewy!

    My daughter would love this; I am not much into peanut butter. I love to eat it just as it is, but not with chocolate or anything... I know, it's a crime :)

  11. Hey Lisa,

    Bakeapples are also called cloudberries. They are orange-y and are shaped like large raspberries. The only thing I can liken the taste to is apricot, but it is not exact. They are actually quite distinct. They grow in bogs and are ready for picking in August.

    Hope this helps :)
