This recipe makes a great little cookie. I had a moon shaped cookie cut-out, but in retrospect, I would use a bigger shape. Working with the little moon shapes, trying to put the filling in was a little messy. A bigger shape alleviated this. The cookie is a nice chocolate taste with the peanut butter filling. This recipe made more peanut butter filling than I needed, and I was not skimpy, but I just froze the rest. Hardly a hardship! Rolling out the dough was not a problem at all. It had the consistency of play-dough, so if you hate to roll out cookies for fear of the dough sticking or tearing, this was not a problem. I did flour my surface and pin lightly. That helped. I only baked for 8 minutes. Also, use a bench scraper to slide under the cut-outs to transfer to the cookie sheet for easy moving. All in all a good cookie.
