Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Today my walking partner, Maria, came over for lunch!!

We had planned on a walk today but the doctor said no so I invited her over.  We had grilled cheese sandwiches, tomato soup, and cookies for dessert.

I got up earlyish and baked cookies.  I wanted to have a treat here for her as she's always so kind and giving to my family and I and what could be better than peanut butter cookies coated in a chocolate-peanut butter mixture and then rolled in icing sugar?  Possibly nothing!  ;)

Here are a few of the pictures I took of the cookies after they were baked:

The recipe called for the peanut butter cookies to be lightly tossed in the chocolate-peanut butter coating...  Well, good luck with that, eh!  It's more like spreading the coating over the cookies.

Then the recipe says to put the cookies into a bag and gently roll cookies in icing sugar.  Well, what does't stick together sticks to the side of the bag.


As I'm not a huge fan of icing sugar, I covered some of the cookie tops with just the coating.  These cookies are good but hubby prefers the ones with the icing sugar on them.
Here's a picture of both cookies.

IF you should make these cookies please remember:
Do Not Inhale!

When eating treats covered in icing sugar never inhale as you are taking a bite.  The sugar flies to the back of the throat causing you to choke.  This will ruin the entire experience for you and that's just out of the question with cookies this good! :)
