1
package (18 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1/2
cup creamy peanut butter
1/3
cup all-purpose flour
1/4
cup packed brown sugar
1/2
teaspoon vanilla
Beaten egg white and sesame seeds (optional)

(18-ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough*
3
tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease cookie sheets. For buns, remove dough from wrapper; place in large bowl. Let dough stand at room temperature about 15 minutes.

3.
Bake 14 minutes or until lightly browned. If desired, remove cookies from oven after 10 minutes; brush half of cookies with egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. Return to oven 4 minutes to finish baking and brown sesame seeds. Remove from oven. Cool on cookie sheets 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

For burgers, remove 1/2 package of dough from wrapper. Beat dough, cocoa, brown sugar and vanilla in large bowl at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended. Shape into 24 (1-inch) balls; place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Flatten cookies with tines of fork to a 1/4-inch thickness with a diameter slightly larger than buns.
