Tagalongs Copycat
Ingredients:
Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
Shortbread Cookie:
- 3/4 pound salted butter, room temp.
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Chocolate Coating:
- 1 lb. Milk Chocolate for candy dipping
Directions to create your Tagalongs Copycat Cookies:
- Preheat Oven to 350° F
- Start by making the dough for the cookies. Using a paddle attachment on a mixer, mix together the butter and 1 cup of sugar until they are just combined. Add the vanilla. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt if wanted, then add them to the butter-and-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. If your dough is a little dry try adding 1 Tbsp. of water at a time until the dough comes together. Roll dough into a ball and wrap in plastic, chill for 30 minutes.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the edges begin to brown. Allow to cool room temperature.
Peanut Butter Filling:
- While Cookies are baking start the peanut butter filling. In a small mixing bowl, mix together peanut butter and powder sugar until it’s completely blended and no sugar can be seen.
- On a cooking sheet, lay wax paper or grease the pan with cooking spray. Place ½ tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture on the prepared pan. I used a cookie dough scooper and it worked great.
- Once Cookies are cool use a spatula, remove the peanut butter from the pan. Place 1 ball in the middle of the shortbread cookie and use a butter knife to spread the peanut butter around the cookie. Repeat with remaining peanut butter balls and cookies.
Chocolate Coating:
- Melt Chocolate coating according to package. Once melted use a fork to dip the cookies into the chocolate.
- Allow the excess chocolate to drip off the cookies and transferred to wax paper to allow cookie coating to harden.
- Enjoy Your Tagalongs Copycat Cookies!! ☺
