Chocolate-Stuffed Toffee Peanut Butter Cookies image

These super-sized peanut butter cookies have a hidden surprise. We stuffed them with pieces of milk chocolate before baking, so they're nice and gooey when they come out of the oven.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield about 14 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup granulated sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup toffee bits
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Four 1.55-ounce milk chocolate candy bars, such as Hershey's, broken up into individual rectangles

Steps:

  • Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • For the cookie dough: Whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
  • Beat the granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg until combined. Beat in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add the flour mixture and mix on low until well combined.
  • For the add-ins: Stir in the toffee bits with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  • For the filling: Scoop 2 level tablespoons cookie dough into the palm of your hand and flatten into a 2-inch round. Stack 3 chocolate rectangles in the center of the round, then top with 1 additional level tablespoon cookie dough. Press and mold the cookie dough so that it completely covers the chocolate. Flatten the cookie slightly so it is about 1 inch tall. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough and chocolate rectangles to make about 14 cookies total (you will have leftover chocolate pieces). Divide the cookies between the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake, rotating the baking sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through cooking, until the tops are puffed and the undersides are lightly browned, about 14 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets set over cooling racks for 5 minutes. Lightly dust the tops of the cookies with confectioners' sugar, then serve while still warm.

FLOURLESS PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE TOFFEE COOKIES



Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Toffee Cookies image

I'm not a fan of peanut butter, but for some reason, these don't taste overly peanutbutterish to me. These started out as your average flourless peanut butter cookies, but over the years they have been tweaked to perfection by adding chocolate chips and toffee bits. They are easy to make and I usually have all of the ingredients on hand. Since these cookies don't have flour they tend not to be dry like some cookies. The cookies will come together no matter how you make them, but here are some tips that I have discovered from playing around with this recipe over the years: 1) When combining the ingredients the order does seem to make a difference; 2) Yes, the recipe does call for one and a half eggs. This produces the best dough consistency. It's best to crack one egg into a bowl, beat it with a fork, then pour half of it into your cookie dough mixture along with one whole egg; 3) When adding the vanilla and peanut butter I tend to go slightly over the called for amount (e.g., the recipe calls for 1 cup of peanut butter so I usually fill the cup, then add roughly 2 tablespoons of PB more); 4) Try not to handle the dough too much. Since there's no flour to help hold it together, the dough can get a bit runny from the heat of your hands. I like to put the dough in the fridge for 10 minutes before spooning it onto the baking sheet (don't forget to place dough back into fridge between batches). Then simply use a tablespoon to scoop up the dough; 5) Set the timer for 11 minutes. If after 11 minutes they've turned a golden color and have puffed up a bit, they should be done. You may need an additional minute (as ovens can vary). Once they've finished baking, gently separate any cookies that have baked together with a knife, let them cool to the point you can pick them up with a spatula, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
