Directions:
Truffle Filling:
Melt butterscotch chips and peanut butter together in the microwave for 1 minute; stir until smooth.
Chill in the refrigerator until thick enough to scoop, about 10-15 minutes.
Scoop into tablespoon-sized balls and chill until ready to use.
Cookie Dough:
Cream together butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar until fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla.
Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms.
Assemble Cookies:
Place granulated sugar in a small bowl.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten, place a truffle ball in the center, and enclose with dough.
Roll the filled dough ball in sugar, then place on a prepared baking sheet and slightly flatten.
Bake:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Bake cookies for 9-10 minutes until puffed and edges are set.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Tips:
Ensure the truffle filling is chilled enough to handle easily; it should not be too soft.
Do not overbake; cookies should still be soft in the center when removed from the oven.
For an extra touch, you can drizzle the cookies with melted chocolate after they cool. See less
