Chocolate Peanut Butter stuffed cookies
These are somewhat labor intensive, but fun to make and mucho delicious. Found in an old magazine with some modifications, of course.
Ingredients
Flour: 1.5 cups
Cocoa: 1/2 cup
Baking soda: 1/2 tsp
Butter: 1/2 cup, softened
Sugar: 1/2 cup
Brown sugar: 1/2 cup
Peanut Butter: 1/4 cup
Egg: 1
Vanilla Yogurt: 1 tblsp
Vanilla: 1 tsp
Powdered Sugar: 3/4 cup
Peanut Butter: 1/2 cup
Vanilla: 1/4 tsp
Sugar: About 2 tblsp
Directions
1. Mix flour, cocoa, and baking soda in a bowl
2. In a different large bowl or the stand mixer, beat together butter, 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup peanut butter. Mix in egg, yogurt, and 1 tsp vanilla.
3. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and combine.
4. Form dough into balls, about 1.5 in. in diameter. Set out on wax paper.
5. Make the filling: Combine the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup peanut butter, and 1/4 tsp vanilla.
6. On wax paper, flatten a chocolate dough ball a little and put a 3/4 in. blob of the peanut butter filling in the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to completely cover it. Roll the dough back into a ball. Repeat until all of the dough is used up. You may have some extra filling, but that's better than not having enough.
7. Place the dough balls on parchment paper on cookie sheets, about 1.5 in. apart. Lightly coat the flat bottom of a glass (or other small flat surface) with cooking spray, so sugar will stick to it. Dip in sugar, and slightly flatten each dough ball with the coated glass bottom.
8. Bake at 350 deg., convection, for about 12 min. A little longer for regular bake. Some cracking on the surface means they're done.
