Surprise Cookies with Strawberry Deliciousness
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Butter
- 1/2 Cup Castor Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter (Smooth or Crunchy)
- 4 Tbsp Light Corn Syrup
- 1 +3/4 Cup Plain Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 15 Oreo Cookies
- Strawberry Jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170 degree Celsius and line a baking tray with parchment paper
- In a stand or electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar until well combined
- Then add the peanut butter and corn syrup and blend well
- Gradually add in plain flour and baking soda and combine until you have a thick dough
- Take about a tablespoon of the dough and flatten it onto the lined baking tray. Take one Oreo Cookies and press it gently on the flattened dough, and fold the edges over the Oreo cookie until it is completely covered. Make an indentation in the center with your thumb lightly
- Repeat with all the cookies and pop the tray in the oven
- Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes, depending upon your oven, or until the edges start turning golden and the cookies are baked to your liking
- When golden, take out of oven, if indentations look shallow further define them and fill each cookie with 1/2 teaspoon of jam. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack
- Serve while still warm, with a scoop of ice cream, a glass of milk, coffee/tea or just as is. These make great gifts too
