Chocolate Fudge Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookies

These Chocolate Fudge Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookies are a match made in cookie heaven!

Chocolate Fudge Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookies

Chocolate and peanut butter. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways!

Endless possibilities, am I right?

Chocolate Fudge Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookies

Cookies, candy, cake, even breakfast options like homemade pop tarts or as additions to your morning breakfast bowl.

The delicious list goes on and on and on…..

Chocolate Fudge Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookies

So when it came to creating a stuffed cookie this holiday season, of course, the chocolate peanut butter combo was at the top of my list.

I have to say, it was a little tough photographing these beauties because each time I’d break one in half hoping to get that money shot, you know I was eating the other half, lickety-split! #foodbloggerproblems #NEEDmorestretchypants

Chocolate Fudge Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookies

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining. A person could have worse problems.

I mean who can pass up a decadently dark, rich, chocolatey cookie with a surprise of creamy, dreamy peanut butter inside, topped with some flaky sea salt? Like no one.

These disappeared faster than fast at our house. Like WHOOOOOSH. GONE.

And fresh out of the oven with a glass of cold milk…

Game over!

A Few Cook’s Notes for Chocolate Fudge Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookies Recipe:

I like to sift my cocoa powder so I don’t end up with dry spots in my cookies.

Make sure to cover the entire frozen peanut butter dollop with the cookie dough before baking.

This recipe made twelve good size cookies. I baked 6 per tray and baked one tray at a time.

A holiday cookie winner my friends! Enjoy!

Hope you can pop back to the blog this Thursday, when I’ll be sharing another special, easy holiday cookie!

‘Tis the Season!
