Bake crazy Saturday

I was a baking fool today. I only add the fool part in there because I normally don't bake all that much. I love to bake, and I love to eat the finished product but it can be time consuming. I was inspired to bake because of a recipe I found online. The name alone would cause anyone to drool. ...ready for it?? Peanut Butter Brownie Cookies. That's right not only is it an individual sized brownie, but it's topped with peanut butter and then frosting too! Yes they were very delicious.

Here's how you make them!

INGREDIENTS
1(19.5-oz.) box Pillsbury Brownie Classics Traditional Fudge Brownie Mix
1/4cup butter or margarine, melted
4oz. cream cheese (from 8-oz. pkg.), softened
1egg
1cup powdered sugar
1cup creamy peanut butter
1/2(16-oz.) can chocolate fudge ready-to-spread frosting


DIRECTIONS
1.Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, beat brownie mix, melted butter, cream cheese and egg 50 strokes with spoon until well blended (dough will be sticky).
2.Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets to make 24 cookies; smooth edge of each to form round cookie.
3.In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and peanut butter with spoon until mixture forms a ball. With hands, roll rounded teaspoonfuls peanut butter mixture into 24 balls. Lightly press 1 ball into center of each ball of dough.
4.Bake at 350°F. for 10 to 14 minutes or until edges are set. Cool on cookie sheets at least 30 minutes.
5.Remove from cookie sheets. Spread thin layer of frosting over peanut butter portion of each cooled cookie.


The recipe is from pillsbury

I am in the process of finishing up some cake balls now. If you have not tried those I insist you make some. Once again I'm putting in a plug for Bakerella!
