Description

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie but in cookie form. These cookies are rich, fudgy, and topped with that creamy peanut butter filling. They’re just good.


Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup special dark cocoa powder (or black cocoa powder)
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 6 tablespoons cream cheese
  • ½ cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • Reese’s peanut butter cups, for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, add butter, sugars, egg and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Add in the dry ingredients and whisk just until combined.

3. Scoop 9 cookie dough balls onto prepared baking sheet.

4. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Use a spoon or a 4 inch circle cookie cutter to make the cookie into a smooth circular shape. Use a tablespoon measuring spoon to make a cavity in the center of the cookie. This is for the peanut butter filling. Allow to cool 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to wire cooling rack.

5. While the cookies cool, make the peanut butter filling. In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, peanut butter and sugar. Beat with a handheld mixer until smooth and creamy. Add in the whipping cream and beat until stiff peaks form.

6. Scoop the filling into a zip-top bag. Snip the corner off of the bag, then pipe the filling into the center of the cookie. Drizzle with chocolate and top with Reese’s peanut butter cups. Enjoy!
