How To Make The Cookies

  • Cream the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
    1 cup Butter, ¾ cup Granulated sugar
  • Add the yolks, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Beat well until the egg yolks are well incorporated.
    2 Egg yolk, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon Almond extract
  • Mix the salt into the flour and add it to the above mixture. Gently fold the flour in until the dough is formed.
    2 cups All-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • Cover the dough and chill for an hour.
  • Mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream. The mixture will be sticky, and it is okay.
    1 cup Powdered sugar, 1 cup Peanut butter, ½ cup Heavy cream
  • Preheat the oven to 375℉ and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set them aside.
  • Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough to ½ an inch thickness. Use a round 2-inch cookie cutter to cut the cookies. Place them on the lined baking sheet. Leave two inches of space between them. Bake for 8-9 minutes or until the edges are light brown. Let them cool completely before assembling.

How To Assemble

  • Place about 1½ tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture on each cookie. It will look unruly at first. Shape the peanut butter into a clean, soft dome. It will look unruly at first. See the picture in this post.
  • Chop the chocolate into small pieces and put it in a small bowl. Place the bowl on the simmering water. Hot water should not touch the bowl of chocolate.
    1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate
  • Add the shortening and let it melt into the chocolate. The mixture should be smooth and lump-free.
    1 tablespoon Shortening
  • Use a spoon to pour enough chocolate over the peanut butter dome to cover it entirely.
  • Sprinkle the top with desired sprinkles and let the chocolate set and harden.
    ¼ cup Sprinkles
