Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon softened butter

Method
 

  1. Mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon softened butter. Roll into 16 small balls and freeze 15 minutes.
  2. Beat the 1/2 cup butter with both sugars until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla.
  3. Whisk the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Stir into the butter mixture.
  4. Flatten a tablespoon of dough, place a frozen peanut butter ball in the center, and seal the dough around it. Repeat.
  5. Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

Notes

The peanut butter centers must be fully frozen before you wrap the dough. If they start to soften, freeze them again for a few minutes before continuing.
