Peanut Butter and Candy Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups  all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup  granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon  baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/2 cup  butter
  • 1/2 cup  creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup  honey
  • 1 tablespoon  milk
  • 24 miniature chocolate-coated caramel-topped nougat bars with peanuts
Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter and peanut butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Using a wooden spoon, beat in honey and milk until well combined.

2. For each cookie, pat 1 tablespoon of the dough into a 2-inch circle. Place 1 piece of candy in the center of the circle. Shape the dough around candy to form 1 1/2-inch ball. Place the balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

3. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are light brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool.
