Take the dough ball filled with the Peanut butter mixture and add a second attended dough ball on top.
Roll the dough together to form a ball. Place the dough ball on the baking sheet. Bake for 14-15 minutes or until the dough ball is just barely set and no longer shiny. Remove from the oven and set to the side to let chocolate peanut butter Oreos cool.
