Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup 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 Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups Additional creamy peanut butter (for filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the creamy peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form the chocolate cookie dough.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the peanut butter filling by mixing the powdered sugar and additional creamy peanut butter until a soft, pliable mixture forms.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the cookie dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly in your hand to create a disk.
Take approximately 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter filling and roll it into a small ball. Place the filling ball in the center of the flattened cookie dough disk.
Wrap the cookie dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal it completely. Roll it gently between your hands to create a smooth ball.
Place the filled cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern on the surface.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies look set. Do not overbake as they will continue to firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your rich and indulgent Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies with a glass of milk!
