Fudge Puddles

I made these for a cookie exchange I went to and they were a big hit. My family thought they were tasty too! :)

1 cup softened butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Preheat to 325.

Mix butter, peanut butter, and sugars until creamy. Mix in eggs and vanilla. In a separate, smaller bowl, mix your flour, baking soda and salt. And to peanut butter mixture. Once you’ve got your dough mixed well, roll into 1 inch balls and place in greased mini-muffin pans. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown.

Immediately press center of cookies with small cookie scoop and then let cookies cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan. Any less time and they’ll be too soft to transfer in one piece and any longer, they might get too hard and stick/break.

For fabulous fudge filling:

1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla.

Place in a glass bowl and microwave them for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave in 20 second increments until nice and smooth. Spoon into cookies and allow a few minutes to set.
