You’re probably tired of listening to me talk about lunch packing.
But when you’ve got two kids, and one is seriously picky,
and you’re expected to feed them on a regular basis, this is not an easy task.
Cleaning,cooking, laundry, shopping, these I can do.
Homework and carpool, bring it on.
Lunches cause me stress.
This year I have vowed to win my daily struggle, and I will be planning ahead.
I will make something my kids will enjoy, and I won’t be packing yogurt and granola every day for a month.
These cookies will be making an appearance on Thursday afternoon,
that is if they last that long:)
Move over Oreo
Peanut Butter filled Chocolate Cookies:
For the peanut center combine 3/4 cup of peanut butter and 3/4 cup of powdered sugar
roll into 1 tsp balls and freeze for an hour
For the chocolate cookie:
cream together 1/2 cup butter with 1/2 cup of brown sugar
add 1 tsp of vanilla and 1 egg
1/2 cup of cocoa and 1 1/4 cups of AP flour
form 1 tbsp balls
flatten into discs
fill each with a pb ball
gently press the balls closed
bake@350 for about 9 – 10 minutes
some I rolled in raw sugar
totally not necessary
hope I have a few left for lunches:)
Enjoy!

I have lunch stress too. I think if I sent these with Jordan she’d be super happy! But I doubt any would make it past the oven…I’d eat them all!
Ooh! I’m so glad I’m not the only person who stresses about what to feed my kids this time
These cookies look AMAZING! Thanks for sharing!

These cookies look delcious Heather!! Thanks so much for leaving a comment on our blog as it has allowed me to find your fabulous one!!! Have a wonderful week:)
Peanut butter cup filled chocolate cookies? My kids would be so excited if they found these in their lunch boxes! And you aren’t alone in the lunch box stress…I always think about it too! I don’t like sending the same thing all the time!!!
These are INSANE, Heather! I’m loving the cookie-stuffed-inside-a-cookie concept… a lot
it’s crazy, it’s fun and it sounds delicious!
Oh wow, these look so yummy! A little peanutty present! My kids would worship me if I put these in their lunches!
Your posts are always helpful. I already know that one of my baby nieces is pretty picky, so it’s always good to have options for when they visit.
I hate making lunches for my two school-aged kids too!! I am in love with these cookies – if you look at my blog, I have two cookie posts in the last two weeks that are stuffed with something, LOL!! Chocolate and peanut butter are THE ultimate combo! Thanks for sharing your recipe, I’m pinning and definitely trying! Excited to follow you and see what you cook up next!
