Peanut butter oatmeal cookies filled with a peanut butter & chocolate fudge sauce.


you will LOVE these
perfect for kids

to start,make your cookie batter:

1cup creamy peanut butter(I use simply jif less sodium)
1/2cup packed brown sugar
1/2 white sugar
1/4cup quick oats
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
(do not add salt)

Combine sugars and peanut butter til blended, add egg. then mix in your vanilla .add  oats last, you just want them lightly blended in.

chill dough over night (atleast 12 hours)

then preheat your oven to 325.
line parchment paper on 2 baking sheets.
roll into tablespoons and roll in even balls.
DO NOT ROLL IN SUGAR.
once you have all your cookies (roughly 2dozen,maybe 2 1/2 depending on your size balls)
use a fork,dip into granulated sugar and criss cross evenly on 1 cookie, then dip again,then repeat.. keep dipping in between cookies for even sugar coating.
you just want a light amount of sugar on top.

bake for 10-12 minutes until soft in the middle and browned lightly on edges.
then cool for 5 minutes IN PAN!
then remove from pan onto cooling rack til totally cooled to room temp. (about 30 minutes)

on the side, make the fudge filling.
no you could cheat and use some store bought stuff but I wanted to make my own version so here it is.
mix 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of milk chocolate chips
add 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
microwave until ALMOST melted the chips, than add 1/4 cup of whole milk.
heat for additional time until your chips are melted and smooth with your mixture.
then add in 2tablespoons of powdered sugar, or until it reaches a consistency that is spreadable without running. sprinkle in 1/8 to a 1/4 teaspoon of salt. your desired taste. that's why we don't salt the cookie batter. that way the cookies taste more peanutty & the fudge has a salted flavor. PERFECT

                                                      then prepare your station :

 

next assemble:

 

then you have your sandwich:

 

store in an air tight container in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. you want the fudge to set.

 

then comes the fun part.

 

 

ENJOY!

GLUTEN FREE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP FUDGE COOKIES

 The BEST gluten free, flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookies you will EVER have.


you will need
1 cup of good creamy peanut butter (I recommend jiffy low sodium)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar.
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chip
1/4 teaspoon salt

first:
let your egg come to room temp, either sit egg in a bowl of hot water for 10 minutes,or leave on counter for 30 minutes prior to using.

mix sugars & peanut butter,add egg. then combine well and add in your vanilla.
add your baking soda and salt, then stir in your chocolate chips.

chill for 12 hours.

then:
preheat your oven to 325
grab 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
your dough will be very crumbly and you will have to firmly pack into a ball, this is GOOD.
pack firm and roll our 2-3 dozen. (depending on size)

bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned.
then remove from oven and remain IN pan for 5 minutes,then place on cooling rack.


once cooled completely you can begin your fudge topping :) (this optional)

1 cup semi sweet chips,
1 tablespoon shortening or butter.
melt til smooth than dip each cookie :)
