Description
Delicious chocolate cookies stuffed with creamy peanut butter filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups flour, sifted
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 Tbsp sugar
Instructions
- For the cookies: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, cinnamon and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter. Add egg, milk, and vanilla, beating well. Beat in half of the flour mixture. The batter will be really thick. Finish adding the rest of the flour by hand with a spoon. Form the dough into 32 balls, roughly 1 inch. Set aside.
- For the peanut butter filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the powdered sugar and peanut butter for 2-3 minutes. The filling will look like little beads. If it doesn’t become a smooth mixture automatically, turn off the mixer and knead by hand until it all comes together. Form the filling into 32 balls.
- Preheat the oven to 350F°. Slightly flatten one chocolate dough ball and place a peanut butter filling ball in the middle. Shape the chocolate dough completely around the filling and roll into a ball, sealing in the filling. Repeat with remaining dough. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto an ungreased baking pan. Lightly flatten cookies and sprinkle a little bit of sugar on top.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until set and are slightly cracked on top. Cool on pan for a few minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the cookie dough.
