Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Additional creamy peanut butter (for filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the creamy peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
To prepare the gooey filling, combine the additional creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and formable. Roll the mixture into 12 small, marble-sized balls.
Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie and flatten each scoop slightly in your hands. Place a peanut butter filling ball in the center of the flattened dough, then wrap the dough around it, ensuring the filling is completely sealed inside. Roll gently into a smooth ball.
Place the stuffed cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Use a fork to gently press a crisscross pattern on the tops if desired.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake them; they should remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm for the ultimate ooey gooey experience, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
