Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough will be thick.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set at the edges but still slightly soft in the center. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

Meanwhile, prepare the peanut butter filling. In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Once the cookies are completely cool, spread about a tablespoon of the peanut butter filling onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining cookies and filling. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
