CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER MELTAWAYS
These little candies have become a staple in my annual Christmas baking, though they are so simple, all you need is a microwave! They literally melt i your mouth and will be adored by any chocolate+PB lover! You can easily change the quantities as the white candy, chocolate candy, and peanut butter are used in equal amounts. I use Wilton brand candy melts but you could probably use chocolate chips or almond bark as well.

Be careful not to over cook. Cool on wire racks.
- 2. note: you may also drop by rounded teaspoonfuls and flatten with fork then just sprinkle with sugar.
Tips:
- Use unsalted butter: This allows you to control the amount of salt in the cookies and prevents them from becoming too salty.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy.
- Use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch: The cornstarch will help to make the cookies tender and melt-in-your-mouth.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing: This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
