Peanut butter surprise cookies with rolos - Rolos a all time favorite candy made into a cookie.....!

Ingredients:

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature (let the butter from refrigerator sit on the counter for about an hour or so)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted or aerated (see important note below!)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/6 cup granulated sugar for coating

18 Rolos, chewy caramels in milk chocolate, plus more – for snacking

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using an electric mixer, cream peanut butter and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add brown sugar; beat until combined. Add eggs and vanilla, and continue beating until creamy.

2) In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients from step 2 to wet ingredients in step 1, beating on low speed.

3) Prepare baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greased aluminum foil. Place granulated sugar on a plate. Roll spoonfuls of cookie dough into balls, rolling each ball between your hands. Roll balls in sugar to coat them completely.

4) Place cookie balls 2 inches apart on a prepared baking sheet. Bake until cookies begin to puff up slightly, about 7 minutes. Remove from oven. Press one Rolo candy in center of each cookie. Return to oven; continue baking for about 5 more minutes, until cookies just turn golden brown and chocolate begins to melt. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool at least 10 minutes on baking sheet before transferring cookies to rack to cool completely.
