- ½ Cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 ½ Cups all-purpose flour
- ½ Cup cocoa powder
- ½ Teaspoon baking soda
- ½ Teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ Cups creamy peanut butter
Instructions
Make the Peanut Butter Fillings
- Start by dropping 12 spoonfuls of peanut butter on a baking sheet.
- Chill your peanut butter in the freezer while you prepare your cookie dough.
Prepare the Cookie Dough
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Use an electric hand mixer to cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixing bowl until the sugar is dissolved.
- Whisk in the egg.
- Once the egg is fully incorporated, whisk in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Make sure no pocket of dry or wet ingredients remain in your cookie dough.
Shape and Bake the Cookies
- Divide your cookie dough into 12 large balls.
- Flatten each ball into a disk and place a dollop of frozen peanut butter in the center of each one.
- Fold the cookie dough over the peanut butter and put your cookies on a large baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake them for 12 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then move them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Freeze the filling: It makes stuffing the dough much easier.
Space cookies well: Prevents them from spreading into each other.
Seal the edges: Keeps the peanut butter from leaking out while baking.
Cool fully: Allows cookies to firm up for the best texture.
