Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and salt until smooth.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly. Place 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture in the center and then wrap the dough around the peanut butter to form a ball.
- Place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Add chocolate chips for extra chocolatey goodness.
Use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy for a different texture.
Try almond or cashew butter as substitutes for peanut butter.
