Recipe: My Gooey-Centered Peanut Butter Whoppers Are So Yummy and the Perfect Way to Satisfy That Sweet Craving

My Gooey-Centered Peanut Butter Whoppers

I am not proud to admit this, but I am a peanut butter fiend.  I love the stuff whether in cookies, cakes, pies, sweet breads, or just eating straight from the jar. If you share my passion for it, then you are going to be glad that you found this post for my Self-Filled Peanut Butter Whoppers.

This is a very unusual peanut butter cookie recipe that also is extremely easy to make. Unlike a typical crunchy peanut butter cookie, my recipe has two different textures.  The outer crust is almost like a pastry whereas inside it forms a somewhat creamier, gooey center.  The taste once you try this will send you nearly overly the edge with pleasure as that cookie nearly melts in your mouth.

My Peanut Butter Whoppers have two great textures in one to enjoy.

What I like to do is use an ice cream scoop to deposit the dough on the cookie sheets to make giant cookies. This size is fantastic, especially if you want to add some vanilla ice cream between two of these monster cookies for a delicious ice cream sandwich.

Feel free to make your cookies smaller if you wish.  However, I am not that good because this recipe is one of my vices so whoppers it is always for me.

My Gooey-Centered Peanut Butter Whoppers

Sandwich two Peanut Butter Whoppers between some vanilla ice cream for a special treat.

2 cups of brown sugar, firmly packed (light or dark)
1/3 cup of butter
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons of baking soda, leveled
3 tablespoons of boiling water
2-1/2 cups of sifted flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder, leveled
1/3 cup of peanut butter




Usually I sift the flour with the baking soda to safeguard what I bake from getting sour spots.  However, for this recipe I like to dissolve the soda in a few tablespoons of boiling water before I add it to the recipe.

Thoroughly cream the brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter before adding the eggs.  Continue beating until the ingredients are well combined.

Next, add the flour and baking powder and beat together until mixed through.

Drop on lightly greased cookie sheets and bake in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes , depending on how your oven is regulated.  Just remember, smaller cookies will need less baking time.  Test with a toothpick to see if anything sticks.

ENJOY!

Recipe: Free Up Your Day With My Cheesy-Joes Recipe for An Easy, Quick Summer Meal!

Save yourself time and hassle in the kitchen but still enjoy a quick, home cooked meal with my Cheesy-Joes.

Why confine yourself inside when you can be having fun outside to enjoy this beautiful warm weather now that it finally has arrived?  I can think of a million things that I would rather do than be stuck near a hot stove.  If you also feel that way, then you are going to love my Cheesy-Joes sandwiches!

My recipe is another variation of traditional Sloppy Joe sandwiches like I shared earlier with you with my Sloppy People sandwiches.  This one has a delicious and unique taste that you also will love.  Furthermore, it is as simple as cooking a quick meal from scratch can get and hardly takes much time to prepare.

Though it is extra work, I am rather spoiled when it comes to breads and buns.  I prefer the taste of homemade every time over a package of those spongy hamburger buns.  Since I get up very early any way to do my computer work, I take advantage and mix up a batch of buns while it is cool.  This way the dough grows while I do some work and be ready to shape before the heat sets in.  My buns can be baked and ready in time for lunch.

By the way, if you do have any leftovers, then I have a tip of a great way to use them for another easy meal.  All you need to do is open a jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce and add this meat mixture to throw over some pasta. 

I hope you print this wonderful recipe out because it is a time saver when it comes to minimizing time in your kitchen, next to that HOT stove.
