Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Filling
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

Prepare the Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips.
  2. Chill the filling in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up.
Make the Cookie Dough
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Using a cookie scoop, drop a tablespoon of cookie dough onto a baking sheet.
  2. Make a small indentation in the center of each dough ball and fill with about a teaspoon of the peanut butter filling.
  3. Cover the filling with another tablespoon of cookie dough, sealing the edges.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  5. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
