Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cookies:
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
    • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 tsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp salt
  • For the Peanut Butter Filling:
    • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • For the Chocolate Drizzle:
    • 4 oz dark chocolate, melted

Instructions

  • Melt the butter and chocolate: In a microwave or double boiler, melt the butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate together. Cool slightly.
  • Mix the wet ingredients: Beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until thick and pale. Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture.
  • Prepare the dough: Fold in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Chill the dough for 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Make the peanut butter filling: In a separate bowl, mix together creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Roll into small balls (about 1 tsp each).
  • Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Form the cookies: Scoop 1 tbsp of chilled dough, flatten slightly, and wrap it around a peanut butter ball. Roll into a ball and place on the baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies: Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Drizzle with chocolate: Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over them.
  • Serve and enjoy: Indulge in the fudgy, chocolate-peanut butter goodness!

Notes

For extra peanut butter flavor, you can add a pinch of salt to the peanut butter filling or use crunchy peanut butter for texture.
