Anyone who likes peanut butter cups will really go for these treats. I give them an elegant finish by sprinkling confectionersâ sugar over a stencil. âDiane Miller, Millersburg, Indiana Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup peanut butter |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup baking cocoa |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
filling: |
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
3/4 cup peanut butter |
additional confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2. In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and peanut butter. Roll into 30 balls. Shape tablespoonfuls of dough around filling to cover completely; place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with a glass.
