Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cups Mini chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of the peanut butter until creamy and smooth, using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 4

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of peanut butter, powdered sugar, and mini chocolate chips. Stir until evenly mixed, forming a firmer filling dough.

Step 7

Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the cookie dough and flatten it slightly in the palm of your hand.

Step 8

Place a small ball (about 1 teaspoon) of the peanut butter filling in the center of the flattened dough.

Step 9

Carefully fold the edges of the cookie dough up and around the filling, rolling into a smooth ball and ensuring the filling is completely enclosed.

Step 10

Place the filled cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 11

Use the tines of a fork to gently press a crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft. Avoid overbaking.

Step 13

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 14

Serve and enjoy your Peanut Butter Munchies or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days!
