The last time we met for Mexican Train (which seems like forever now) Friend Carol served us lunch before we started playing MT. She likes to do that and it is better than just having snacks. She served the Cajun Shrimp I shared with you, ham and cheese slider sandwiches, a dip, cheese puffs, and these absolutely awesome cookies that I am sharing with you today. Sorry I have taken so long to do so, but that was before PC (Pre-COVID-19 self - isolation).
She called the cookies Peanut Butter Cup Cookies but that title omits the Chocolate Chip Cookie part so I decided to just call them Carol's Surprise Cookies. Besides the fabulous taste, they looked so fantastic.
Looking at them you would never guess the surprise inside of them. Peanut Butter Cup Thins.
I had never heard of PBCT until that day. I didn't think to take a picture of the cookie from the side after I bit into mine, but the PBCT melts into the cookie so it is hard to actually see it, but that's okay, you get the added taste.
I didn't discuss it with Carol, but I bet if you wanted to use your own favorite chocolate chip recipe and just form the dough into a roll like the tube you can buy and that she used, it would work. Wrap it in wax paper and freeze or refrigerate it so you could slice it.
Here is Carol's recipe with out any pictures as she didn't take any for me as she baked them.
CAROL'S SURPRISE COOKIES
1 tube (16 or 30 ounces) chocolate chip cookie dough
1 package Dark Reese's Peanut Butter Cookie Thins
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Thinly slice the cookie dough and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. The cookies will spread so make sure you are generous with your spacing. Gently press the slice down to flatten more. Place a cookie thin in the center to the cookie. Then place another thin slice over the top. Press the edges to seal.
Bake for 15 minutes.
If you use the larger tube of cookie dough, you will just have a bigger cookie as the tube is just bigger in diameter.
Here is the Cajun Shrimp Carol served. If you missed the recipe you can find it HERE. It was pretty awesome, too.
