Peanut Butter Pie Cookies image

I love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, but my favorite-peanut butter pie-is tough to eat on the go. I dreamed up these cookies to get my favorite flavor combo in a bite-size package. They can be made ahead and taken to any holiday gathering. -Ashley Moyna, Elkader, Iowa
