Love these cookies! They're the most requested at my work, they're gone within 5 minutes of me setting the tray down. I like to roll the cookies in gran. sugar before I bake them & if I don't do that I'll dust them with powdered sugar.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2  cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2  cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2  teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2  cup butter, softened
  • 1/2  cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2  cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4  cup peanut butter
  • 1  egg
  • 1  tablespoon milk
  • 1  teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4  cup sifted powdered sugar
  • 1/2  cup peanut butter
  • 2  tablespoons granulated sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda; set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl beat together butter, the 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the 1/4 cup peanut butter with an electric mixer until combined. Add egg, milk, and vanilla; beat well. Beat in as much of the dry ingredients as you can with mixer. Stir in remaining dry ingredients by hand with a wooden spoon. Form chocolate dough into 32 balls about 1-1/4 inches in diameter. Set aside.

3. For peanut butter filling, in a medium mixing bowl combine powdered sugar and the remaining 1/2 cup peanut butter until smooth. Shape mixture into 32 (3/4-inch) balls.

4. On a work surface, slightly flatten a chocolate dough ball and top with a peanut butter ball. Shape the chocolate dough over the peanut butter filling, completely covering the filling. Roll dough into a ball. Repeat with the remaining chocolate dough and peanut butter filling balls.

5. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Lightly flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped in the 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.

6. Bake cookies in preheated oven for 8 minutes or until they're just set and surface is slightly cracked. Let cookies stand for 1 minute. Transfer cookies to wire racks; cool. Makes 32 cookies.

To Store: Place in layers separated by waxed paper in an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

These are really yummy cookies and easy enough that my 4 and 9 year old kids were able to help me make them. I also found the filling was too dry so I just added more peanut butter until it was the consistency I wanted.

Awesome cookie! I've taken them to two parties this season and they're a hit everywhere. I use my Pampered Chef medium scoop for the chocolate and small scoop for the peanut butter. I've found I need to double the filling portion for a single batch.
