Preparation Times:

Peanut Butter-Stuffed Chocolate Cookies

Equipment:

Oven
Mixing bowl

Ingredients:

Cookies

1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tbsp almond milk

Filling

3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
To make the filling, combine the two ingredients in a bowl until well blended. Refrigerate while preparing the dough.
To make the cookie dough, in a large bowl, beat together the sugar, brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add the flour, cocoa powder, almond milk, and baking soda, and mix until a thick dough forms.
Remove the filling from the fridge. Scoop a good amount of 1 1/2 – 2 tbsp of the dough, flatten it out in the palm of your hand. Place a filling ball in the middle of the dough and wrap the dough around it, rolling it into a ball to seal it. Flatten it again lightly and repeat with the remaining mixture.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are set and slightly cracked around the edges.
Serve and enjoy your new favorite cookies!
