Ingredients
  

Nutella and Peanut Butter Filling

  • ½ cup Nutella
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter such as Skippy or Jif

Cookies

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • cups brown sugar
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup peanut butter chips

Reese's Topping

  • 32 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (miniature cups cut in half)

Chocolate Drizzle

  • ½ cup chocolate chips, any kind

Instructions
 

  • Divide the Nutella evenly between 16 cavities of a silicone sphere tray, using about 1½ teaspoons in each cavity.
  • Divide the creamy peanut butter evenly between the cavities, spooning about 1½ teaspoons directly over each Nutella layer.
  • Place the tray flat in the freezer for at least 2 hours, until the centers are completely solid.
  • Beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and creamy.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Mix just until a cookie dough forms.
  • Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.
  • Divide the room-temperature dough into 16 equal portions, approximately 3 ounces or 85 grams each.
  • Flatten one portion of dough in your palm. Remove one frozen Nutella and peanut butter center from the silicone tray and place it in the middle of the dough.
  • Wrap the dough completely around the frozen center and pinch the seams tightly closed. Repeat with the remaining dough and frozen centers.
  • Place the stuffed dough balls on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line the baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the chilled cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between them.
  • Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges are golden.
  • As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, press four Reese's Peanut Butter Cup pieces firmly into the top of each cookie.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes so the Reese's pieces melt slightly and stick to the tops.
  • Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely.
  • Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies and let the chocolate set.

Notes

NOTES :
Nutella Stuffed Reese's Monster Cookies for Halloween
  • Drizzle first: Let the cookies cool completely, then drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops exactly as in the main recipe. Work on a few cookies at a time so the chocolate is still wet when the eyes go on.
  • Add the eyes: Press two candy eyes onto the wet drizzle on each cookie. Set them close together and slightly off center so every cookie has its own face.
  • Add the sprinkles: Scatter Halloween sprinkles over the drizzle straight after the eyes, while it is still wet. Orange, purple, green and black is the mix I use.
  • Let the drizzle set: Leave them on the rack until the chocolate is firm before you stack or bag them, so the eyes and sprinkles stay put.
