Chocolate Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies
Sweet Pea's Kitchen
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus more for rolling)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1. Preheat oven to 375ยบ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together sugars, butter and 1/4 cup of peanut butter until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg, beating to combine. Stir in the flour mixture and stir to combine, blending well. Set aside.
4. In a medium bowl, mix together powdered sugar and remaining 3/4 cup of peanut butter until smooth.
5. Pull off a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten with your hands. Take about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter mixture and place it in the center of the chocolate dough. Wrap the chocolate dough around the peanut butter center, pressing to seal. Roll the cookie into a ball and roll the cookie in the sugar. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart. Using the bottom of a glass, flatten each cookie to about a 1/2 inch thickness.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 7 to 9 minutes. Let stand on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then remove to a wire rack.

I am about to share with you the worlds most fattening delicious recipe ever.
I have put on a few pounds in the last few

I might as well drag you down with me.
I'm just nice like that.

I know you are probably all trying to eat healthy, with summer right around the corner and all, so I'm sorry, I just couldn't help but share.
If you make them, please let me know how many pounds you gain so I don't feel like the only loser
how you like them.
And please tell me you didn't only eat one.
Then, I will just have to hate you.

Growing up, my family had a valentine's tradition of making heart shaped cookies decorated with pink icing and red hots! One year, my grandmother put the leftover cookies in a tupperware container and set it on top of our toaster oven. The tupperware began to smoke and quickly melt the cookies into a black and pink goo. We were really impressed with the little toaster's power! To this day, it is still one of my favorite cookies, and red hots some of my favorite candy!
