Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

.
I was bored the other day and decided to make cookies! I didn't have many ingredients but a TasteSpotting search revealed a recipe that was simple and looked delicious. So here we have chocolate cookies with a yummy peanut butter center!

Ingredients

Cookies:
  • 1 & 1/2 Cups Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 Cup White Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp. Milk
  • 1 Tsp. Vanilla
  • 1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
  • 1/4 Tsp. Cinnamon
  • 1 Stick Soft Butter
  • 1 Egg
Filling:
  • 3/4 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1/2 - 3/4 Cups Peanut Butter

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheet with nonstick spray, or use a cookie mat.
  2. Combine flour, cocoa powder and baking soda in a small bowl; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl cream together the butter, white sugar, brown sugar and peanut butter. Add egg, milk and vanilla to the creamed ingredients and mix well. Add the dry ingredients a little at a time. The dough should be thick enough to form into balls. About 30 should be made.
  4. To make the peanut butter filling mix together the powdered sugar and peanut butter. I found that 1/2 cup of peanut butter wasn't enough so I added another 1/4 cup of peanut butter. This dough should also be thick enough to form into balls. Make an equal amount of peanut butter balls as you did cookie balls, but make them smaller.
  5. Get two pieces of waxed paper. Place a ball of cookie dough between the two and flatten with your hand, remove the top piece of paper and place a ball of peanut butter in the center and fold the chocolate dough around it, making sure there is no peanut butter coming out.
  6. Place the cookies on your prepared pan about 2 inches apart. Use a fork to make crisscrosses on top of the cookies and slightly flatten them out. Bake for 8 minutes.

Enjoy!
