You’ve guessed it, this is one heck of a cookie! Super moist chocolate cookies are loaded with mini peanut butter cups, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips!

But, that’s not all, oh no. I made these cookies into a cookie sandwich. Sandwiched in the middle is a peanut butter cup and peanut butter frosting, oh my! (How many times will I say peanut butter in this post?? Take your bets!)

Ugh, I made the cookies themselves oversized to get all the goodies inside.

They are moist, chewy and bursting with chocolate-y peanut buttery goodness!

The peanut butter frosting is super fluffy and not overly sweet. A perfect combo.

Chocolate and peanut butter just happen to be one of my favorite flavor combinations of all time. AND, peanut butter cups are my favorite chocolate treat.

They might look difficult…. they aren’t. You can even make the cookies in advance and sandwich them the next day. Super easy.

The cookies by themselves are to die for, but add in that frosting and it just takes them to the next level!

    These look seriously amazing! Here’s hoping it’s not 90 degrees soon so I can turn on my oven. 😉 Pinned for later. (visiting from Wake Up Wednesday)

    Could I use a cookie scoop for this recipe or an ice cream scoop? If cookie scoop is to small then what time and temp should I use?
