Because it's sinfully good.
When I get one of these delightful cravings, I don't want it to take forever to get my fix. I'm also a cookie addict. Shameless. However store bought cookies don't really do it for me. Until I discovered something, now I'm sure it's been done before me- but this little trick I discovered on my own.
Store bought pre-made dough (preferably in the little bricks and honestly the Pillsbury dough is really sticky, the cheap cheap stuff from ALDI works great). A jar of peanut butter and a jar or hazel nut spread. Oh yeah.
I use two cookie "bricks" and on one cookie spread peanut butter and the other spread hazel nut- I then smash them together into a beautiful morphing of sweet goodness. Repeat and bake as per instructions.
The butter's make them super super moist and soft, not always pretty, but I will probably never bake cookies any other way again. If I want more cookies, sometimes I'll just spread the butter over the top (for this I usually just use hazel nut) and bake, it has the same effect as far as moist/softness. Vastly improves store bought cookies. Prepare to let go of your diet. These are amazing.
I'm thinking of experimenting with these in muffin tins and "cookie bar" style as well. We'll see. I think it will be good! Also, I regret that I lack a picture for this blog, however I have one that is very similar below. I'll get my experiments posted soon!
