Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Cookies
There is nothing better than chocolate and peanut butter, especially in a cookie recipe. These cookies are like a Reese’s, but in the form of a cookie. If you are not a fan of chocolate, try our other peanut butter stuffed cookies loaded with all peanut butter!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Cookies:
- Flour- Use all-purpose flour for the best results.
- Cocoa powder- I like to use Hershey’s brand unsweetened dark cocoa powder.
- Baking Soda- This will allow the ingredients to rise in the oven.
- Kosher salt-Use this to bring out the flavor in the recipe.
- Sugar- You will need granulated and light brown sugar.
- Butter- Use unsalted to control the amount of salt in the recipe.
- Peanut Butter- You’ll want to use creamy.
- Egg- Use eggs that are at room temperature.
- Vanilla- Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavoring.
- Milk- This adds moisture to the dough.
For the Filling
- Peanut butter
- Powdered sugar
How To Make Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar together until fully combined.
- Using a teaspoon, spoon out filling and roll into a ball and place on a plate.
- Place the balls in the fridge and chill for 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt
- Using a standing mixer, cream together the butter, sugars, milk and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla and mix until combined
- Stir in the dry ingredients
- Scoop out some cookie dough with a small ice cream scoop and roll into a ball.
- Lightly push your thumb into the center of the chocolate cookie dough to make indents.
- Place a peanut butter mixture filling into the center and mold the dough back into a round ball, covering up the peanut butter filling.
- Roll the cookies in granulated sugar and place on baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes
Tips
- You can chill the peanut butter filling before rolling it into balls. This makes it a little easier to handle.
- You can store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- For an extra wow factor you can add chocolate chips to the tops of the cookies right when you remove them from the oven.
