List of Ingredients




1 cup Butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt


Candies Ingredients:
Decorator candies and sugars

Filling Ingredients:
3 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons Butter, softened
2 to 3 tablespoons milk


Recipe



Combine butter, sugar and brown sugar in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Add eggs and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed (1 minute). Reduce speed to low; add flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Beat until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes). Cover; refrigerate until firm (1 to 2 hours). Heat oven to 350°F. Place candies in small bowl. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Dip balls in candies to coat one side. Place, candy-side up, 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are set. (DO NOT OVER-BAKE.) Let stand 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet. Cool completely. Combine powdered sugar, peanut butter and 2 tablespoons butter in small mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often and gradually adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency. To make sandwiches, spread about 2 teaspoons filling on flat-side of 1 cookie, top with a second cookie, flat-side down. Repeat with remaining cookies.

Makes 3 dozen cookies.
