Sunday Night Sweets

Almost every Sunday night after our evening church service we go to Mike and Rosa's house for food and fellowship. We always have a great time with our friends and I always make dessert. I thought it would be nice for me to start regularly posting the treats that I make!

For the peanut butter filling, combine powdered sugar and 3/4 cup peanut butter. Beat together well. Roll filling into 30 small same sized balls.

For each cookie use 1 tablespoon of chocolate dough and roll into a ball. Squish ball of chocolate dough flat and place peanut butter ball in the center. Wrap the chocolate dough up and around the peanut butter ball to completely cover. Place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Flatten the cookie balls with your hand and then sprinkle with a little bit of white sugar. Bake for 7-9 minutes.
