Peanut Butter Surprise (!)

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg

Filling:

3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter

Preheat oven to 375 Combine flour, cocoa and soda.

Beat sugars, butter and peanut butter.

Beat in the egg and vanilla.

Stir in the flour mixture and blend well. Set aside.

Make the filling by blending the powdered sugar and peanut butter.

Roll the filling into 1" balls.

The filling dough really didn't look like it would stay together. But, because of the peanut butter, all it took was a little bit of molding to make it stick. I'd totally recommend this recipe to people with kids, because this part is just like playing with play dough.

Shape a tablespoon of balls around each peanut butter ball. Place onto ungreased cookie sheet 2" apart

flatten each one with a glass (dip in sugar for something extra!)

Bake for 7-9 minutes. Cool.

Compared to my past few days, this was a very simple recipe to make. The only real way to screw it up would be to burn the cookies a bit because you're too busy chatting with your sister on facebook. But even then, just dip the cookie in some milk and it's not bad. If I were rating this cookie on EBay, I'd give it an A+++++ would make/eat again.
