This recipe was featured in our Sunday paper and I just had to try it. Kids really love the peanut butter surprise inside the cookie. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1 cup creamy peanut butter, divided |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup baking cocoa |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugars and 1/4 cup peanut butter. Added egg and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, cocoa and baking soda; add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2. Blend confectioners' sugar with remaining peanut butter until smooth. Roll into 24 balls, 1 in. each. Divide dough into 24 pieces; flatten each into a 3-in. circle.
3. Place one peanut butter ball on each circle; bring edges over to completely cover it. (Dough may crack; reshape cookies as needed.) Place cookies with seam side down on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten each cookie slightly with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake at 375° for 7-9 minutes or until set. Yield: 2 dozen.
