I started making these cookies as soon as the recipe has come out. They are by far the BEST cookies ever! I have nothing negative to say about these, if you love peanut butter and brownies these are the go to cookie.

I think the brownie cookies are great but I change out the peanut butter with a rolo. I make the recipe as above but instead of making cookies, I use a mini muffin pan and make little mini muffin bites. While they are baking, I unwrap the rolos and let them get room temperature. Once the muffin bites are out of the oven, I put a rolo on top of a muffin and push it down into the center. Then after those cool down, I put a little chocolate frosting on top. Friends, family and co-workers love my brownie muffin bites.

I agree. The p.butter and confectionery sugar combination isn't quite right. Maybe, a little less on the sugar. Will try that next time.
