Step 5

Take a heaping tablespoon of the cookie dough and flatten it using your hands.  Then, place a frozen peanut butter ball on top and use the excess edges of dough to cover the peanut butter ball completely.

Roll the stuffed cookie dough balls in granulated sugar.  Place on a non-stick baking sheet about 2" apart.  Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown.  And, finally, enjoy these dope peanut butter cookies.

You could wait for them to cool, but I prefer to indulge in these cookies right out of the oven.  If you enjoy these cookies right away, the melted peanut butter oozes out and somehow make every problem in the world disappear....

Be careful, these cookies will be hot when you take them straight off the baking sheet, but I promise that burning your mouth on molten peanut butter doesn't hurt half as badly as never experiencing these gems.  Happy baking, and enjoy.
