Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar to form a thick peanut butter filling.

Step 7

Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of chocolate cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your hand.

Step 8

Place 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter filling in the center of the dough, then fold the edges of the dough around the filling and roll into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 9

Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

Gently flatten the tops of the cookie balls, then press a few chocolate chips onto the tops for decoration, if desired.

Step 11

Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

Step 12

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm to enjoy the gooey peanut butter center, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
