How good do those cookies look? Trust me.....these are GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will not be disappointed if you make them. :) Well.......Guess what? This is another Pinterest inspiration from this blog that's originally from here. :) Sorry......always gotta site my sources you know. I don't want to be stealing someone else's recipes or ideas! :)
You will need the following:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa (I used dutch cocoa)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar (plus more for rolling)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup Peanut Butter (divided)
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
3/4 cup powdered sugar
little bit of milk
little bit of milk
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray pam on your cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together your sugars with your butter and peanut butter (1/4 cup) until light and fluffy. Beat in your egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in the flour mixture a little at a time until all mixed in. (You can also use your kitchen aid mixer with the paddle attachment. I used my hand mixer). Once mixed just set aside.
In another medium bowl, beat your peanut butter (3/4 cup), powdered sugar and a little (FAT FREE) milk until smooth.
Next pull off a heaping tbsp of cookie dough and flatten with your hands. Take about a tsp of peanut butter and place in the center of the flattened dough. Wrap the chocolate cookie around the pb center. Roll into a ball, roll in sugar and then place on cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Take a glass and press down the cookie to flatten.
Bake in your preheated oven for 7 to 9 min. Let cool on baking sheet for 2 min. then transfer to a wire rack.
I made mine so big I only got a dozen! LOL But you can make them as big or small as you want.
Look at the ooey gooey pb goodness! :)
