How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter.
  7. Set aside 1 can (16 oz) plus 1/3 cup chocolate frosting.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
  9. Flatten each cookie with a fork dipped in granulated sugar.
  10. Bake for 8-11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once completely cool, spread the reserved chocolate frosting evenly over each cookie.
