How to make peanut butter stuffed chocolate cookies
To begin, first, line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and drop 18-19 teaspoons of peanut butter onto it. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour until the peanut butter is firm. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350 F (180C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda, and set aside until ready to use. In another bowl, mix together the butter, peanut butter, and both sugars until creamy. Add an egg and vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gradually incorporate the flour mixture and chocolate chips.
Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle. Remove the peanut butter teaspoons from the freezer and take large spoons of cookie dough, flattening them on your palm. Add a teaspoon of peanut butter and wrap the dough around it, then roll into balls and place on the prepared baking sheets.
Sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt before baking them in the oven for 9-11 minutes. Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes. If serving for holidays, decorate the cookies with fall-colored M&M’s candies while still hot.
