Peanut Butter Cookie Bites

Submitted by i_luv_chocolate

"This recipe I found in an old issue of Cooking Light. I made it and it was an instant hit with everyone. When I make it I want a stronger peanut butter taste than the recipe calls for so I use about 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter. I also use a medium size kitchen cookie scoop to form the cookies and drop them onto the pan- just my personal preference."
