To prepare cookie:

Butter a cookie sheet. Remove chocolate cookie dough from the refrigerator. Measure out 1 equal tablespoon of the dough and form into a ball. Force about a 1/2" wide hole all the way through the dough ball with your thumb (it should now look similar to a donut), place dough on cookie sheet. Now, take 1/2 egual tablespoon of the peanut butter dough mixture and roll it into a small log form. Gently press the rolled peanut butter "log" into the hole of the chocolate cookie dough. Press the peanut butter dough down until almost level with the chocolate dough. Repeat with remaining cookie dough. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes. Let cool.

For milk chocolate topping:

Ingredients:
5 oz milk chocolate or 3/4 cup milk chololate chips

Directions:
Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl on 50% power in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted and smooth. Drizzle or pipe over cooled cookies.
