Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies Recipe
When Nestle Toll House introduced their new DelightFulls, my mind began racing...what could I make with these tasty little filled chocolate chips?! My first try was a Peanut Butter Surprise Cookie recipe and it's pretty delicious, if I do say so myself!
I've been making this recipe for close to 20 twenty years. Yeah, I know. I just dated myself.
It's the "Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie" recipe from ABC Distributing's "Grandma's Favorite Cookies" cookbook. Did you ever work in an office that received the ABC Distributing catalog? It was so full of awesome stuff!!
I made just a few changes to the original recipe to suit Angeline's tastes - she isn't a fan of pecans in her cookies. It's a shame because my favorite cookie is a chocolate chip and pecan cookie, which is the original recipe that this Peanut Butter Surprise Cookie Recipe is based on.
If you love peanut butter, but a full-fledged peanut butter cookie is just a little too much for your taste, this Peanut Butter Surprise Cookie is going to rock your world.
The peanut butter melts within the Nestle Toll House DelightFulls chocolate chip and when you bite into the cookie, it's like silky peanut butter goodness exploding on your tongue!
Disclosure: There is no real explosion.
Nestle Toll House DelightFulls Filled Baking Morsels are available in the baked goods aisle at your local grocery store in 9 ounce bags.
They're available in the following flavors:
- Milk Chocolate Morsels with Caramel Filling
- Milk Chocolate Morsels with Peanut Butter Filling
- Dark Chocolate Morsels with Mint Filling
- Dark Chocolate Morsels with Cherry Flavored Filling
