We had a special birthday request this week for a cookie filled with peanut butter cream and covered in chocolate. They said it was like a peanut butter cup candy but bigger and with a cookie. 😃
This is our interpretation — we called it Peanut Butter Dreams. Light a fluffy with just the right amount of decadent for a birthday or special occassion. (Or Soft and Chewy Almond Butter Cookies )

Instructions
Dream Filling
-
Cream together the peanut butter, sugar and cream cheese in a medium bowl. When it is light and fluffy drizzle in the whip cream on medium speed and then turn to high and whip until airy and light. Chill in fridge.
Dream Filling Vegan Version
-
Place your nut butter and coconut cream in a small bowl and mix on high until light and fluffy. Chill in the fridge to thicken.
Vegan Chocolate Ganache
-
Heat the plant milk up in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. You want this super hot but not boiling. Pour over your chocolate chips in a medium size bowl and let sit for a couple minutes to soften. Then using a silicone spatula begin to stir the melting chocolate slowly. It will look like it it too runny, but have faith it will come together just fine. Continue stirring until you have a smooth chocolate syrup. If it still seems too thin you can chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Assembly
-
Place a spoonful of filing on 12 of the cookies and top with remaining cookies. If you like you can take a knife and smooth the sides. Put cookies on wire rack and slowly pour ganache over the top so it runs down the sides. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
