What You Need

1/2

cup (1 stick) butter, softened

2/3

cup PLANTERS Creamy Peanut Butter

2/3

cup granulated sugar, divided

1/3

cup firmly packed light brown sugar

egg

Tbsp. milk

tsp. vanilla

1-1/2

cups flour

1/3

cup PLANTERS COCKTAIL Peanuts, finely chopped

tsp. baking soda

1/2

tsp. salt

foil-wrapped milk chocolate pieces, unwrapped

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 375°F. Beat butter, peanut butter, 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar and the brown sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat until well blended. Combine flour, peanuts, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended after each addition.

SHAPE dough into 48 balls, each about 1 inch in diameter; roll in remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Place, 2 inches apart, on ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE 9 to 10 min. or until lightly browned. Immediately press a chocolate piece into center of each cookie. (Cookie will crack slightly around edge.) Cool on baking sheets 1 min. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

The trick to this recipe is to keep the cookies small. Do not big cookies because the chocolate is too far from the edge changing the flavor from very chocolate to a little bit of chocolate.

I love these cookies and finally decided to use this recipe. I was dissapointed in the peanutbutter taste. I avoided using the chopped peanuts, b/c I don't like that crunchiness in my cookie, but that might have been where the rest of the panut flavor went. If I try this recipe again, I will add more peanut butter, or try changing it a little to make the taste more to my liking. If I can't get it righ tby the third time, I will be looking for a new recipe to try.

A family friend make this around the holidays or parties. She said it's so easy to make. When she first made at one of the parties, it was very, good. I loved it. I will make it around the holidays for work. That's when we have our X-mas party. I already made my Bulls Eyes & everyone loved it. Thanks!!!
