This recipe was featured in my local paper years ago and has remained a favorite ever since :) Ingredients:

1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1 cup creamy peanut butter, divided |
1 egg, slightly beaten |
2 teaspoons maple extract or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 1/2 cups flour |
1/2 cup baking cocoa |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
3/4 cup icing sugar |
Directions:
1. Set oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, sugars and 1/4 cup peanut butter.
3. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
4. Combine flour, cocoa and baking soda; add to creamed mixture and mix well.
5. Blend icing sugar with remaining peanut butter until smooth.
6. Roll into 24 balls, 1-inch each.
7. Divide dough into 24 pieces; flatten each into a 3-inch circle.
8. Place one peanut butter ball on each circle; bring edges over to completely cover it (dough may crack; reshape cookies as needed).

10. Flatten each cookie slightly with bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
11. Bake for 7-9 mins, or until set.
