Peanut Butter-Filled Chocolate Cookies

I actually made these cookies a few weeks ago when I was rotating out my peanut-butter. Remember the "Outside-In" burgers I made? These are built about the same way. Except instead of ground beef, sub in chocolate cookie mix. And instead of cheese, sub in sweetened peanut butter. Oh! And instead of grilling, you bake them... ok, so they don't have a lot in common except that for both you put the yummy stuff in the middle and form the cookie/burger around it.

1 batch chocolate cookie mix, with ingredients called for in recipe
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar

Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Prepare chocolate cookie mix as directed. In a seperate, smaller bowl combine peanut butter and sugar. To make each cookie: Drop a heaping teaspoonful of cookie mix onto an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten with the back of a spoon or your hand. Drop about 3/4 teaspoon of peanut butter mixture onto center of each cookie. Fold edges of cookie up over the peanut butter and seal with your fingers. Bake for about 9 minutes or until edges are set and slightly dried. Don't overbake! The cookies will firm up as they cool. Allow to cool on pan for a couple minutes before moving them to cooling racks.
