1 1\/2 cups all-purpose flour
\n1\/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon baking soda
\n1\/2 cup butter, softened
\n1\/2 cup granulated sugar
\n1\/2 cup packed brown sugar
\n1\/4 cup peanut butter
\n1 egg
\n1 tablespoon milk
\n1 teaspoon vanilla
\n3\/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
\n1\/2 cup peanut butter
\n2 tablespoons granulated sugar
\n
\nPreheat oven to 350 degree F. In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda; set aside.<\/p>\n
In a large mixing bowl beat together butter, the 1\/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the 1\/4 cup peanut butter with an electric mixer until combined. Add egg, milk, and vanilla; beat well. Beat in as much of the dry ingredients as you can with mixer. Stir in remaining dry ingredients by hand with a wooden spoon. Form chocolate dough into 32 balls about 1-1\/4 inches in diameter. Set aside.<\/p>\n
For peanut butter filling, in a medium mixing bowl combine powdered sugar and the remaining 1\/2 cup peanut butter until smooth. Shape mixture into 32 (3\/4-inch) balls.<\/p>\n
On a work surface, slightly flatten a chocolate dough ball and top with a peanut butter ball. Shape the chocolate dough over the peanut butter filling, completely covering the filling. Roll dough into a ball. Repeat with the remaining chocolate dough and peanut butter filling balls.<\/p>\n
Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Lightly flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped in the 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.<\/p>\n
Bake cookies in preheated oven for 8 minutes or until theyre just set and surface is slightly cracked. Let cookies stand for 1 minute. Transfer cookies to wire racks; cool. Makes 32 cookies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
