Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 bunch butter or margariane, softened
1/2 c creamy peanut butter
1/2 c firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 1/4 c all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips
1 c (6 ounces) semi sweet chocolate chips
1 can(s) (14 ounces)eagle brand sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 325. In a mixing bowl, cream butter, peanut butter and sugars; add egg and vanilla.
2. In medium bowl stir together flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture. Mix well. Chill dough for an hour.
3. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place into lightly greased mini-muffin tins. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until lightly browned.
4. Remove from oven and immediately make "wells" in the center of each by lightly pressing with a melon baller. Cook in pans for 5 minutes, then carefully remove to wire racks.
5. Make fudge filling.
6. In double broiler, over simmering water, melt the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips. Once chips are melted stir in milk and vanilla; mix well. Using a small pitcher or pastry bag to fill the cookie shells (since I've made these so much, I use a tablespoon ) Let the filling set up and then store cookies in airtight container.
7. NOTE: should you have any leftover filling it can be stored in the refrigerator and served warm over ice cream.
