Servings: 32
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
- ½ cup dark brown sugar (packed, light brown sugar works too)
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar for rolling
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt for rolling
- 32 pieces Baker's dipping chocolate wafers for stuffing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, sugars, peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
- Add egg until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, combine baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Incorporate dry ingredients into wet mixture until combined.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and salt. Roll a large dough ball {I use a medium cookie scoop}, break in half to add a melting wafer inside and then roll back into a ball.
- Roll dough balls in the brown sugar and salt mixture and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake 8 minutes (or until golden brown at edges) and serve warm.
Notes
- Rolling the cookie dough balls in brown sugar and sea salt give added texture, but you can skip this step if you'd like to save time.
- For best results, don’t over-bake the cookies! They might not look done but will continue to bake on the sheet after removing them from the oven.
- These chocolate peanut butter cookies are best served out of the oven. If you save them for later, warm them in the microwave for 20 seconds for blissful bites.
