If you are a peanut butter lover ~ this is a chocolate cookie filled with peanut butter then you are going to love this one~ I thought maybe they would be difficult, but the filling rolls into a ball easily to mold around the cookie batter.
Roll the dough into a ball and flatten it in the palm of you hand then add the peanut butter ball, viola you have a filled cookie that is awesome!
Flatten with the palm of your hand and watch them transform into a delightful taste of a perfect cookie in every bite.
These are also great travelers and pack well.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar-packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter-softened
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar-packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter-softened
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
2 tablespoons of milk
Filling:
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter
Mix both together till smooth and make 28 small round balls and place on a cookie sheet refrigerate till ready to use.
Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, blend flour, cocoa, and baking soda.
Add white sugar, brown sugar, butter and 1/4 cup peanut butter, beat in mixer with a flat beater attachment until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg, beat until blended. Stir in flour mixture until blended. Set aside.
Roll dough into 28 round pieces, using about a tablespoon of dough. Flatten each piece in the palm of your hand, add a small peanut butter ball to the center, pull dough around the ball and when covered in chocolate roll into a ball. Flatten with the back of a glass or palm of your hand. Keep washing your hands if they become sticky. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees until set around 6 to8 minutes do not overbake, or the cookie will be dry . Cool completely, dust with confectionery sugar. I didn't use alot in the picture so you can see the cookie but I like these cookies dipped in the confectionery sugar twice! Once while warm once cooled just a tip ....

ReplyDeleteJust made these and tasted one. SO GOOD! I pressed half a roasted peanut on top of each cookie for a decorative touch. Also to signal to people with peanut allergies what's in them as I'm bringing them to a party. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bake! Loving the peanut butter surprise.
ReplyDeleteClaudia, these are delicious! My son and I are peanut butter lovers, can't get enough of these. Thank you
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do with the 2 tblsp milk. I assume you add it with the egg and vanilla. Also you say "Add white sugar, brown sugar", etc so I added it to the flour mixture and had to scoop it out. You might want to say "Combine white sugar, brown sugar" etc in a mixer.
ReplyDeleteI have made this recipe twice and they are a big, big hit at work. Thanks for the recipe!
