I’ve made cookies with frosting in the dough before. I don’t typically like to make the same recipe twice (I know, I’m weird) but the great thing about these that there are so many possibilities. I mean, you can use any type of frosting you want.
This time, I used peanut butter frosting… uhhhhhhh yum. Then, I did somethin’ crazy and rolled them in hot chocolate mix. Like I said, crazy. Sometimes I worry about myself getting too crazy. I mean, just yesterday I lost $40 at the the casino. What’s next?!
But really, these cookies are super good. My mom hates peanut butter, but she loved these. Imagine how much you’ll like them if you love peanut butter.
What’s your favorite frosting flavor?
