Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter A smooth base for our filling.
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar Adds sweetness and helps bind the filling.
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Gives structure to the cookies.
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder Rich dark cocoa enhances flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda Provides lift for our cookies.
  • 1/4 tsp salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavor.
  • 3/4 cup butter (room temperature) Creates a soft and chewy texture.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Adds moisture and depth of flavor.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Sweetens the dough perfectly.
  • 1 piece egg Binds ingredients together for a cohesive dough.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Infuses warmth and richness in flavor.
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (for topping) Optional, but who can resist more chocolate?

Method
 

  1. Make the Peanut Butter Filling by mixing together the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until fully combined. Roll into 12 tablespoon-sized balls and set aside.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients by whisking together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars by beating together the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients by gradually adding the dry mixture to the creamed butter mixture until a dough forms.
  5. Shape the Cookies by portioning out 12 pieces of chocolate cookie dough, flattening slightly, placing a peanut butter ball in the center, and shaping the dough around it.
  6. Chill Before Baking by placing the cookie balls on a lined baking pan and chilling in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking at 350°F.
