Peanut Butter Caramel Stuffed Cookies

I think this week is the first time in forever that I haven’t made cookies at least every other day.

So as you can guess, I was going through major cookie dough and cookie withdrawals. I had to do something about it, so I made these cookies.

I was in the mood for peanut butter but I also wanted something with caramel . . .two of my many favorite things.  These cookies are what came out of my kitchen and if you ask Parker, they are “the best ever!”  Peanut butter and caramel definitely work well together.  The Milky Way simply caramel bites are perfect because the caramel stays soft, even after being cooked.

If you’re feeling a little rebellious, you could make them bigger and stuff two or three simply caramel bites in the middle. . .yum!

Hope you have a great weekend.
