Cookie Mix Double Peanut Butter

I'm still in a cookie baking rut, so I figured I'd post an old cookie recipe. Cookie Mix Double Peanut Butter Cookies are easy stuffed peanut butter cookies kind of like the ones they sell at Crumbl. The great thing is, the recipe starts with a mix so they are super easy! Even if you don't normally use packaged cookie mix, you might want to give the peanut butter flavored Betty Crocker a try. It's good!

Cookie Mix Double Peanut Butter Cookies

Filling:
⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup powdered sugar

Cookies:
1 (17.5 oz) package peanut butter cookie mix (such as Betty Crocker)
3 tablespoons cold butter, cut up
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon water

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Prepare filling first. Beat together peanut butter and powdered sugar. Place in refrigerator until ready to use.

In a large mixing bowl, using a fork or pastry cutter, stir together cookie mix and cold butter until mixture is coarse and crumbly. Add egg yolks and water and stir with spoon or hands until mixture comes together. Shape into an 8 inch long cylinder, then divide into 16 equal pieces.

Working 1 dough piece at a time, divide dough piece in half and press both halves flat. Using a half teaspoon measure, scoop a ¾ inch ball of peanut butter mixture and place between dough halves. Mold dough around peanut butter filling, rolling gently between palms to make a ball.

Set on cookie sheet and repeat to make 16 cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned
