Ingredients

Cookie:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg

Filling:

3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter

Topping

1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Make Cookies: In a small bowl, blend flour, cocoa, and baking soda.
In a large bowl beat white sugar, brown sugar, butter, and 1/4 cup peanut butter, until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg, beat until blended. Stir in flour mixture until blended. Set aside.
Make the filling: Combining the confectioner's sugar and 3/4 cup peanut butter. Beat well with an electric mixer until mixture comes together.
Roll filling into 30 (1 inch) balls.
Form the exterior part of the cookie by sectioning dough into approximately 1 tablespoon pieces and then shaping the exterior portion of the cookie around completely around the peanut butter filling balls. Be sure the the filling is completely completely covered.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll the completed dough ball in sugar.
Place the balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Gently flatten with the bottom of glass.
Bake at 375 degrees for 7-9 minutes. (I baked mine for 7 minutes). Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack and cool completely.
