Peanutbutter truffle cookies

I didn’t know whether to call these truffle cookies or cookie truffles. Whatever you call them, they rock!

Ingredients:

1 cup of peanutbutter
1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar(or light brown)
1 large egg(or ex-large)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 heaping cup of roughly chopped chocolate miniatures(you know the kind)

Preheat oven to 350F.

 In a small bowl with a wooden spoon, mix all ingredients until well blended, then stir in the chocolate.

 Drop rounded teaspoonfuls on a sprayed, or non-stick cookie sheet,(or use parchment paper), an inch or two apart.

 Bake for 9 minutes, remove from the oven and cool. Makes about 36 scrumptious little truffle-cookie things, but who’s counting?
