Brownie-Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies



Since there was no real recipe for this, just use your favorite brownie recipe. While the brownies are in the oven, put together this ridiculously simple peanut butter cookie dough: 

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar (i used 1/2 c white sugar, 1/4 light brown sugar instead)
1 egg 

Really, it is that simple, just mix those things in a bowl with a spoon or rubber spatula. No kidding. If you are having trouble working with it, throw the dough in the fridge for about 10 minutes to firm it up a little bit. Roll into balls, flatten them out on parchment-lined baking sheets.

Keep the oven heated to 350. Let the brownies cool for 5-10 minutes, then cut them up into approx.. 1″ pieces– I rolled them into balls, similar to my brownie truffles, though you can keep them square if you prefer.

Place one brownie bite inside each circle of peanut butter dough, wrapping the dough around it, rolling into a ball, and flattening slightly. Crisc-cross with fork tongs if desired.

Cook 8-10 minutes. Bite in and smile at a perfect match!

You could also try putting pretzel bits, chocolate chips, crushed peanuts, caramel, etc. inside for an added treat!
