Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwiches

Delicious recipe today! I love peanut butter and chocolate! This is like a reese's peanut butter cup in a cookie...can't get much better than that!!! I hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it.

Recipe:
COOKIE:
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup+ 1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup+1 T packed dark brown sugar
6 T (3/4 stick) softened butter
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 1/3 cup (8 oz) milk chocolate chips

FILLING:
3 oz chopped milk chocolate
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 T powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
6 T whipping cream

Directions:
Make the filling so it has time to set up. Combine chocolate, peanut butter, powdered sugar and salt into a bowl. Bring the cream just to a boil and pour over chocolate mixture. Whisk til smooth. Chill until thick and spreadable (about an hr)

Preheat oven to 350*.
In a bowl mix flour, soda, powder, and salt. Set aside. Using a mixer (or handheld) mix butter, powdered sugar, and dark brown sugar. Mix til creamy and add the peanut butter. Mix till creamy. Slowly add the oil, egg and vanilla. When fully incorporated add the flour mixture. Add in chocolate chips. Place by rounded tablespoons on a baking sheet and bake for about 12 min. They will look uncooked and fluffy, but they will cook up just by sitting and harden up. Don't over bake or they will be like a rock!

Assembly by spreading some of the filling on the flat side of a cookie and place another cookie on top! How much filling you want is up to you! You can always make more filling!





Hob Nobs

Ever heard of them? Me either until I went to London! They are very popular there. And since they include all of the ingredients I have to get rid of, I decided to make them. The problem is you can't find the recipe online, so I had to borrow this one from a friend's blog! Keep in mind- these are NOT replicas. They are a recipe someone came up with to make a cookie similar to the Hob Nob! Do not be disappointed when they don't taste exactly the same! But by the way they smell and look, I bet they taste pretty darn good :)

Recipe:
1 1/4 cups oats
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole wheat PASTRY flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
9 tablespoons cold butter, cut into chunks
1/2 tablespoon corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

4 oz milk chocolate

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350*.

In a food processor, grind the oats til fine.

Mix both flours, baking powder, soda, and both sugars into the oats. Add the butter to the flour mixture until it looks crumbly. You can do this by hand or with a mixer using the paddle. Or you can do all of those steps above in a food processor. Add corn syrup and vanilla. The mixture will look dry and that is ok.

Separate the dough into to 2 balls and place in between two piece of plastic wrap. This makes it easier to roll out. Roll out til 1/4 inch thick. Cut with a cookie cutter into circles. I chose to make small ones, but you can make them as big or as small as you want them. You could also probably use different shapes ;)

Bake until slightly brown. When you remove them from the cookie sheet to put on the cooling rack, be very careful because they are fragile and can fall apart easily! Let cool on a rack completely.

Melt the milk chocolate. Once cookies are cool, spoon some chocolate on top of them and spread around. Once the chocolate starts to cool (make take a while) you can mark them like the original Hob Nobs. Or you can be lazy like me and only do a couple for the pictures ;)
