This recipe rocks! I feel like I’m always making the same cookies over and over again, and this one was so different. This recipe consists of a really yummy peanut butter cookie filled with…
And the finished product, a cookie with a warm melted candy center! The recipe is amazing by itself, but when I tasted the first batch, I was craving a little more chocolate since milk duds don’t have a thick layer alone. So I added an extra chocolate chip or two in the center with the milk duds. But with or without the extra chocolate, they were still so good!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups butter-flavored shortening
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
- 2 cups sugar, divided
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 package (10 ounces) Milk Duds
Directions
In a mixing bowl, cream the shortening, peanut butter, 1 1/2 cups of sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Chill for at least 1 hour.
Shape 4 teaspoons of dough around each Milk Dud so it is completely covered. Roll balls in remaining sugar. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until set. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks.
