Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar to form a thick peanut butter filling.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of chocolate cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your hand.
Place 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter filling in the center of the dough, then fold the edges of the dough around the filling and roll into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten the tops of the cookie balls, then press a few chocolate chips onto the tops for decoration, if desired.
Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm to enjoy the gooey peanut butter center, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
