Yummy chocolate cookie with a peanut butter center. From Better Homes and Gardens Biggest Book of Cookies: 475 All-Time Favorites Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed |
1/4 cup peanut butter |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted |
1/2 cup peanut butter |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda; set aside. In a large mixing bowl beat butter, the 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the 1/4 cup peanut butter with an electric mixer until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg, milk, and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour mixture with a wooden spoon. Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls (should have 32); set aside. For peanut butter filling, in a medium bowl stir together powdered sugar and the 1/2 cup peanut butter until smooth. Shape mixture into 3/4 inch balls (should have 32). On a work surface, slightly flatten each chocolate dough ball and top with a peanut butter ball. Shape the chocolate dough over the peanut butter filling, completely covering the filling. Roll dough into balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Lightly flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped in granulated sugar. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 8 minutes or until just set and surface is slightly cracked. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool.
