12 Days of Cookies: Day 10

Peanut Butter Brownie Cookies

Auntie D found this recipe and gave it to me....she's not a big cookie/sweets fan but you'd have to be crazy not to think that these are yummy.

A brownie cookie with chocolate frosting :)

Then a yummy peanut buttery surprise when you bite in :)

Hubby declared these very rich and dangerous (kind of how I like my men, but I married Hubby instead LOL!)

Here's the recipe:

19.5 oz package Chocolate Fudge brownie mix

1/4 cup butter, melted

4 oz. cream cheese, softened

1 egg

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 container Chocolate Fudge frosting

1.) Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat brownie mix, melted butter, cream cheese and egg in medium bowl 50 strokes with spoon until well blended (dough will be sticky).

2.) Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets to make 24 cookies; smooth edge of each to form round cookie.

3.) Mix powdered sugar and peanut butter in small bowl with spoon until mixture forms a ball. With hands, roll rounded teaspoonfuls of peanut butter mixture into 24 balls. Lightly press 1 ball into center of each ball of dough.

4.) Bake 10-14 minutes or until edges are set. Cool on cookie sheets at least 30 minutes.

5.) Spread thin layer of frosting over peanut butter portion of each cooled cookie.

2 more days...and then I won't be talking about cookies for a LOOOOOOONG time!
