Peanut Butter Chocolate"Tag-Alongs"

Girl Scouts ain't got nothing on me, fool. Guarantee these are way better than any box of $4.99 cookies you'll buy outside Ralph's.

Ok so as it turns out, these cookies were kiiind of annoying to make. BUT, delicious.

You'll need the following:

1 cp butter

1/2 cp sugar

2 cp flour

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp milk

And one of these:

Cream butter and sugar together. Mix in dry ingredients, then milk and vanilla. Make balls with the dough and squish them. You'll need to make indentations in the dough for the peanut butter filling. The recipe says to use your thumb, but that didn't sit well with me. Instead, I put a rubber glove on the end of a miscellaneous, utilitarian kitchen tool, to prevent stickage, like so:

Making sure to squeeze the air out of the tip

And gently inserted the tip into each dough ball

oh..

oh..

oh not too hard!

yea..

Mock my methods if you must, but have you ever seen more perfect divots? Didn't think so.

Ok, onward. Bake these for 11-13 mins at 350. Meanwhile, make the PB filling.

1 1/2 cp creamy peanut butter

3/4 cp powdered sugar

pinch of salt

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Mix the PB and sugar, then add salt an vanilla. Heat this mixture gradually in the microwave until it's really soft. When the cookies are done and have cooled completely, squeeze the peanut butter mixture (while it's still warm) into the cookie divots, using something like a pastry bag (I used a sandwich bag).

Insert poop jokes.

Refrigerate these for half an hour, maybe more. The peanut butter must be firm

Next, you'll need a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Melt them in a double boiler. When the cookies are good and cold, dip them in the warm, melted chocolate. I tried this, and the peanut butter kept falling off, so I ended up just drizzling/spreading the chocolate on top of the cookies, which worked very well.

Refrigerate them some more until the chocolate is hard. Then eat them. All. And revel in the glee of having outsmarted those conniving little girl scouts again.
