INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 2/3 cup peanut butter
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar divided
- 1/3 cup firmly packed, light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 48 foil wrapped pieces of milk chocolate
METHOD
- 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.
