Found this on ...I've been having the urge to go on a cookie-baking binge (is it really necessary to include the eating binge here too?!) Chocolate-peanut butter dough, filled with more peanut butter and Goobers...sticks to the roof of your mouth so well!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
1 cup sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter, divided
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk chocolate-covered peanuts, divided (goobers)
Directions:
1. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
2. Beat the sugar, 1/3 cup of the peanut butter, the butter, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
3. Blend in the melted chocolate.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
5. Gradually stir in the flour mixture just until combined.
6. Cover dough; chill just until firm.
7. Preheat the oven to 350*F.
8. Shape dough into 1 balls; press thumb into tops to make about 1/2 depression.
9. Place cookies 2 apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Fill each depression with about 1/2 teaspoons peanut butter; press 3 Goobers into the peanut butter.
10. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until sides are set. Cool cookies on the sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
