Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cups Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of the peanut butter until creamy and smooth, using a hand or stand mixer.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of peanut butter, powdered sugar, and mini chocolate chips. Stir until evenly mixed, forming a firmer filling dough.
Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the cookie dough and flatten it slightly in the palm of your hand.
Place a small ball (about 1 teaspoon) of the peanut butter filling in the center of the flattened dough.
Carefully fold the edges of the cookie dough up and around the filling, rolling into a smooth ball and ensuring the filling is completely enclosed.
Place the filled cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use the tines of a fork to gently press a crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft. Avoid overbaking.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Peanut Butter Munchies or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days!
