Double Delight Peanut Butter Cookies

YUM YUM YUM is all I have to say about these cookies. I made them for Joe's family and my family over the weekend and everyone loved them! I got the recipe from Janet's blog and she did not disappoint! Everyone needs to try these.

Double Delight Peanut Butter Cookies

• 1/4 cup dry roasted peanuts, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 roll Pillsbury refigerated peanut butter cookie dough, well chilled
• non-stick cooking spray

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 375* F. In small bowl, mix chopped peanuts, granulated sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
2. In another small bowl, stir peanut butter and powdered sugar until completely blended. Shape mixture into 24 (1 inch) balls.
3. Cut roll of cookie dough into 12 slices. Cut each slice in half crosswise to make 24 pieces; flatten slightly. Shape 1 cookie dough piece around 1 peanut butter ball, covering completely. Repeat with remaining dough and balls.
4. Roll each covered ball in peanut/sugar mixture; gently pat mixture completely onto balls. On ungreased large cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Spray bottom of drinking glass with non-stick cooking spray; flatten each ball to 1/2 inch thickness with bottom of glass. Sprinkle remaining peanut/sugar mixture evenly on tops of flattened cookies; gently press into dough.
5. Bake 7 - 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Store tightly covered.

Makes 24 "gooey-in-the-middle" cookies!
