How to Make Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- For the filling: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup powdered sugar and ½ cup creamy peanut butter until smooth.
- Shape the chocolate cookie dough into 24 balls (approximately 1 ½ tablespoons each).
- Shape the peanut butter filling into 24 smaller balls (approximately 1 teaspoon each).
- Flatten one chocolate dough ball in your hands. Place a peanut butter ball in the center.
- Wrap the chocolate dough around the peanut butter filling, sealing completely and forming a ball.
- Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Place the cookie balls 1 inch apart on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Gently flatten each cookie to about 2 inches in diameter using the bottom of a glass.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set.
- Let cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
