Rolo Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies are soft and chewy peanut butter cookies with a delicious, melt in your mouth chocolate & caramel center.
Check out some of my other favorite cookie recipes: Best Ever Soft Sugar Cookie, Best Ever Soft Peanut Butter Cookies, Best Ever Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies and my favorite German Chocolate Cake Cookies.
The peanut butter cookie recipe I use for these Rolo Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies is literally the best. Soft, chewy, and just the right amount of peanut butter and literally I could only think of one thing that would make these better is a chocolate and caramel center.
These cookies were inspired by our sweet neighbor, Jen, who has the most amazing Instagram account. Everything (including her and her family) is just gorgeous. Anyway, they brought over a plate of holiday yumminess and there were peanut butter cookies with a dark chocolate center, holy yum! But my family doesn’t really like dark chocolate, shucks, I had to eat them all. I loved the idea of stuffing a peanut butter cookie with chocolate. It is kind of like Peanut Butter Blossoms but inside out.
I love the holidays, not just for the cookies, cakes, and sweet trays of goodness brought to us by family and friends. I love the holidays because people are connecting, reaching out and being kind. ‘Tis the season of love, baking, and nurturing friendships.
Happy Holidays! XOXO San
