Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- Optional: chopped peanuts for garnish
Directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and confectioners' sugar to make the filling. Roll the mixture into small balls and set aside.
- Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take a portion of the chilled dough, flatten it in your palm, place a peanut butter ball in the center, and wrap the dough around it to form a ball.
- Place the filled dough balls on the baking sheet, slightly flatten them, and bake until the edges are set. Let them cool before serving, and garnish with chopped peanuts if desired.
