    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 cup white sugar
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar-packed
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter-softened
    • 1/4 cup peanut butter
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 egg
    • 2 tablespoons of milk
    • Filling:
    • 3/4 cup confectioners sugar
    • 3/4 cup peanut butter

    Directions

    Mix both together till smooth and make 28 small round balls and place on a cookie sheet refrigerate till ready to use.

    Directions:

    Heat oven to 375 degrees.

    In a large bowl, blend flour, cocoa, and baking soda.

    Add white sugar, brown sugar, butter and 1/4 cup peanut butter, beat in mixer with a flat beater attachment until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg, beat until blended. Stir in flour mixture until blended. Set aside.

    Roll dough into 28 round pieces, using about a tablespoon of dough. Flatten each piece in the palm of your hand, add a small peanut butter ball to the center, pull dough around the ball and when covered in chocolate roll into a ball. Flatten with the back of a glass or palm of your hand. Keep washing your hands if they become sticky. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

    Bake at 375 degrees until set around 6 to8 minutes do not overbake, or the cookie will be dry . Cool completely, dust with confectionery sugar. I didn't use alot in the picture so you can see the cookie but I like these cookies dipped in the confectionery sugar twice! Once while warm once cooled just a tip ....

      This is a serious cookie! I tried it last night with Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread) instead of peanut butter) - Very nice! Merry Christmas!
