  1. These cookies passed the tasting panel with flying colours! My daughters helped mix and roll the cookies; and according to them (I don't like peanut butter) they are AWESOME and they love the melted peanut butter cup in the middle. I couldn't find mini ones and used regular Reece cut up in quarters. Thanks for posting this winner! Made for Sweet Traditions.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm 23 years old and I live in Trinidad. One of the islands in the Caribbean. I love baking and have a major sweet tooth but I am trying to cook more savoury foods and I am enjoying trying new recipes. Recently I have come to love photographing the food I make. Too bad they don't all come out photo worthy, but at least they still taste good! lol <img src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/BANNERS/SuperBowlSTKR.jpg> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/BANNERS/TeaSuppers-STKR.jpg">
