Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Ball Cookies

Submitted by lisar

"These wonderful cookies stay in a ball shape and are fantastic! My sister shared this recipe with me and her hint was to keep them stored in the refrigerator, which I have to agree- almost tastes like candy! Very good! We both double this recipe each time we make it."

These came out great. I used crunchy peanut butter and about 1 1/4 cup of mini morsels. I omitted the sugar coating based on other reviews. For those who said that the dough was too crumbly I would say the more you work the ball, the better the ball forms. Fabulous, easy to make and yummy. I made 30 cookies using a 1 1/2 inch meatball scoop.. Thank you for sharing Lisa.

These are so easy and so yummy! You can put anything in them! They are a little crumbly when rolling them into a ball, but they will stick together.

These are really great cookies. They do make much more than the stated 18-24. I rolled them in little balls and they made 40! Don't panic if they seem really crumbly and hard to mix. I thought I wasted time, money and ingredients when they didnt pull together like I thought they should, but I just kept working the dough into the balls and they were fantastic! I served them both cold and room temperature and they were devoured both ways. They are a nice change from your usual chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie. They hold their shape beautifully so look nice on a cookie tray. Thanks for this recipe. I will definitely make them again. I do think, though, that I will not use as much sugar to roll them in because they are pretty sweet. Lightly rolling the top is sufficient. Great recipe!

Dough was very crumbly so added another egg to improve the batter. Were still raw inside after baking so returned to oven for longer baking time. Taste was pretty good. Felt like the recipe was a little incomplete
