How to Make Halloween Surprise Filled Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter and 1/2 cup cold vegetable shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg until just combined. Stir in 1 cup rolled oats.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap.
  6. Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles. Place them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/4 cup peanut butter, and 1 tablespoon milk (or more, as needed for desired consistency).
  8. Place a teaspoonful of filling in the center of half of the cookie circles.
  9. Top with the remaining cookie circles and seal the edges firmly by pressing down with your fingers or using a fork to crimp the edges.
  10. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
