    hand turning an oven on
  • In a bowl of stand mixer add the butter, both the sugars, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high until the mixture turns creamy (2-3 min).
  • Add in the egg and beat again until fully incorporated.
  • In another bowl combine all the dry ingredients together - flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and combine well to form the dough.
  • Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least an hour.
  • Scoop out 1 1/2 T of the dough, roll it between your palms and flatten it a bit. Place it on the prepared baking tray keeping at least a 2-inch distance between the cookies.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes in a preheated oven. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes in the baking tray before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make Topping

  • In a medium bowl whisk the peanut butter for about a minute.
  • Add in the powdered sugar and whisk again. The mixture will feel like dough.

Assemble the Cookies

  • Take about 1 tsp of the peanut butter mixture and place it in one hand. Roll it in between your palms and flatten it a bit. Place it on top of the cookie and press down gently.
  • Add a bit of the melted chocolate on top, spreading it a little. Refrigerate the cookie till the chocolate sets.

Notes

And just a tip: a whisk will help you ensure the peanut butter mixture is properly combined and has a smooth consistency.
