Ingredients
- FOR THE COOKIES
1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 c. cocoa powder
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 c. granulated sugar, plus more for rolling
3/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
- FOR THE FILLING
1 1/4 c. creamy peanut butter
1/3 c. powdered sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350° F and prepare 2 large baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- To make filling, combine peanut butter and powdered sugar in a medium bowl, and whisk until smooth.

- Add butter, brown sugar, and sugar to a medium bowl, and beat until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix until evenly combined.

- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten into a pancake-like circle on the baking sheet.
