Filling & Baking the Cookies
- Scoop 2 tbsp of dough and flatten in the palm of your hand. Place a peanut butter filling ball in the center and wrap the cookie dough around it to seal it inside. Place onto a prepared baking sheet. Repeat for each cookie, keeping cookies about 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies look matte on top and the undersides are lightly browned. Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
