Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup smooth, creamy peanut butter for stuffing

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Peanut Butter Centers: Spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of creamy peanut butter per cookie onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prep Pans: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in one egg at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually Add Dry to Wet: With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the chocolate chips by hand using a spatula.
  8. Stuff the Cookies: Take roughly 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten it into a disc, place a frozen peanut butter ball in the center, and wrap the dough around it to seal.
  9. Arrange and Bake: Place the stuffed cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
  10. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nutrition

Keywords: Freezing the peanut butter balls is crucial for achieving that gooey center. Ensure there are no cracks when sealing the dough around the peanut butter.
