How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Surprises

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
  7. Roll the chocolate cookie dough into 1-inch balls.
  8. Flatten each ball slightly, place a teaspoon of peanut butter filling in the center, and then cover with remaining dough, pinching the edges to seal.
  9. Place the cookies onto prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
