Procedure

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter and peanut butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Using a wooden spoon, beat in honey and milk until well combined.

2. For each cookie, pat 1 tablespoon of the dough into a 2-inch circle. Place 1 piece of candy in the center of the circle. Shape the dough around candy to form 1 1/2-inch ball. Place the balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

3. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are light brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool. Makes 24.

Peanut Butter Cookies: Mix dough as directed. Shape into 1-inch balls. Roll in additional granulated sugar to coat. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten by making crisscross marks with the tines of a fork. Bake and cool as directed.

Make-Ahead Tip: Bake cookies as directed; cool completely. Place in a freezer container or bag; seal and freeze for up to 3 months. Before serving, thaw for 15 minutes.
