Sometimes just a little fiddling with a basic recipe ends in something extraordinary. These little beauties are made with a basic peanut butter cookie recipe. They are along the same lines of those yummy cookies with the Hershey kiss, only better. Fancier.
The original recipe these are taken from called for molding the cookie dough around the filling…like volcanoes. Not feeling very artistic, but wanting a similar effect, I put them in the mini muffin tin and then gently pushed the edges down over the filling. The results were prettier than anything I could have formed freehand. By the way, the filling stays soft, even after it’s cooled.
