Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 pieces large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, forming a chocolate cookie dough. Cover and set aside.
In another bowl, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and pliable. Roll the mixture into 24 small balls, approximately 1 teaspoon each.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate cookie dough. Flatten it in your hand, place a peanut butter ball in the center, and fold the cookie dough around it to fully encase the peanut butter. Roll the filled dough into a smooth ball.
Place each filled dough ball onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the tops appear dry. Avoid overbaking.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these delightful cookies with a hidden creamy peanut butter surprise!
