• Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Make the Dough

• Combine the softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
• Use an electric hand mixer to beat the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
• Add the egg and beat again for about a minute, or until the egg is fully combined with the creamed butter.
• Gently whisk in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Set dough aside.
• Make the peanut butter filling by stirring together the peanut butter and powdered sugar until homogenous.

Fill and Shape the Cookies

• Use a standard size cookie scoop to drop balls of dough onto a baking sheet.
• Flatten each ball into a disc and place about ½ tablespoon of peanut butter filling in the center of each disc.
• Fold the cookie dough over the filling and ensure it is completely sealed.

Bake Them

• Bake for 12 minutes on a silicon baking mat or parchment paper lined baking sheet (don’t grease it, otherwise the cookies will spread too much and/or brown unevenly).
• While your cookies are baking, melt the chocolate in the microwave.

Add the Chocolate Topping

• Top each cookie with a spoonful of melted chocolate.
• Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer them to a wire cooling rack.
• You can serve them immediately or wait for the chocolate to set on top if you want them a little less messy.
