THE ULTIMATE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE

Super Bowl is JUST around the corner, guys! Yep, the time of year when it’s totally acceptable to give up on all those pesky healthy new year’s resolutions (I told you it wouldn’t last long) because it’s a day reserved for nothing but junk food and funny commercials. Oh, and football too, I guess…if you’re into that sort of thing.


Speaking of, I have just the perfect treat to capture the attention of all the men at your Super Bowl bash who have most likely fallen into their usual vegetative state just 20 seconds into the game…
You don’t even have to be a peanut butter fanatic to fall hopelessly in love with these cookies. Chances are, if you have tastebuds, you will LOVE these cookies. However, if you have a peanut allergy, I would like to send out my sincerest and deepest condolences…
Because these are definitely the best peanut butter cookies in the entire universe.

INGREDIENTS

• Peanut Butter Truffle Filling:
• 1 cup butterscotch chips
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• Cookies:
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 and 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make the truffle filling: Line a baking sheet with wax paper; set aside.
2. Place butterscotch chips and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute; stir until smooth. Refrigerate for about 10-15 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until mixture is thick enough to scoop.
3. Scoop mixture into roughly Tablespoon-sized balls and place onto prepared pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
4. Make the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar together on high speed until lightened and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.
