I love these. To fill the center faster without the fudge setting up, put the fudge in a icing bag to fill the holes :)

This recipe made ALOT of cookies which was great, and everyone liked them...I am giving a 4 due to the fact that the fudge filling was hard to get in all of the cookies before it started to set up. The taste was good, and if you are much more quick than I am this would be an excellent cookie.

These little gems are so easy to make and they look so fancy! The peanut butter in the cookie shell really comes through, making it taste almost like a cookie version of a peanut butter cup. The middles fall a bit as they cook so I didn't need to press much to make the "wells", but I used the rounded end of a small pestle which worked great. I only had time to make ONE batch of cookies this holiday season and I'm so glad I chose this one! Thanks for an awesome cookie! :)
