Chocolate Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies!

I'm warning you right now if you love PB and choc, you will NOT be able to stop eating these!


Chocolate Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies!

cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup granulated sugar (plus more for rolling)
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
¾ cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 375ยบ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

Make the peanut butter inside FIRST. In a medium bowl, mix together powdered sugar and ¾ cup of peanut butter until smooth.

Shape little balls and place them on a wax or parchment paper lined sheet, and freeze. While they’re freezing, make the cookie dough.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together sugars, butter and ¼ cup of peanut butter until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg, beating to combine. Stir in the flour mixture and stir to combine, blending well. Set aside.

Pull off a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten with your hands. Remove the frozen insides (just a few at a time, They thaw quickly for shaping, rolling and squishing) and wrap the soft cookie dough around the hard middles, pressing to seal. Roll the cookie into a ball and roll the cookie in the sugar. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart. Using the bottom of a glass, flatten each cookie to about a ½ inch thickness.

Bake in preheated oven for 7 to 9 minutes. Let stand on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then remove to a wire rack.
