PEANUT BUTTER-FILLED CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Peanut Butter-Filled Chocolate Cookies image

Seriously - if you love peanut butter and chocolate these cookes are a MUST try. Imagine a wonderful chewy chocolate cookie with a creamy peanut butter filling - it is as good as it sounds. The recipe is from Toronto Star. We made them today and they will be on our cookie tray for years to come - for sure! The recipe mentions that the cookie does well with a 15 second reheat in the microwave on day 3. I don't think we will get to try that in this household.

PEANUT BUTTER FILLED CHOCOLATE COOKIES



PEANUT BUTTER FILLED CHOCOLATE COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 18

Dough:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 large egg
1 T milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Filling:
3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
pinch salt
For assembly:
a few tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • easure flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl and whisk to combine. In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream butter, sugars, and peanut butter until smooth. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla, and continue mixing until well combined. Add dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Cover two baking sheet with parchment and divide dough into 32 pieces. (I only got 29 and wasn't disappointed with their size, so use your own judgement.) Quickly shape into balls. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl or stand mixer, mix powdered sugar, peanut butter, and salt until smooth. Divide into enough pieces to fill your chocolate balls. I found the filling coherent and malleable enough to roll it out into a log, so I did that and simply divided it evenly with a butter knife rather than guess on individual balls, as the original recipe suggested. Flatten each chocolate ball in the palm of your hand and top with a piece of the peanut butter filling. Fold chocolate dough as evenly as possible around the peanut butter and shape back into a ball before placing it on the baking sheet again. My "round" ball cookies always come out slightly flat, which in this case actually worked in my favor (see next step). Lightly flatten each cookie with the bottom of a glass dipped in granulated sugar. You might need to get it a little greasy first to get the sugar to stick. Bake cookies one sheet at a time until the surface of the cookies begins to crack slightly, about 8 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for 1 minute on the baking sheet, then transfer to wire rack and cool completely. Keep eating:

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth filling. If you prefer a chunkier texture, use chunky peanut butter.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the cookies messy.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off.
  • For a fun variation, try filling the cookies with Nutella or another chocolate spread.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter filled cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of these cookies that will be sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give peanut butter filled cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
