Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 egg room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup creamy peanut butter
1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
60 gram milk or dark chocolate bar about 1 chocolate bar, cut into squares

Instructions

Mix Wet Ingredients. Add creamy peanut butter, room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to a medium or large mixing bowl. Blend with a mixer until fluffy and pale. Then, mix in room-temperature egg and vanilla extract.
1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 egg, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix in Dry Ingredients. Add all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the same bowl. Mix until a dough forms.
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
Assemble Cookies. Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out the peanut butter cookie dough balls and place a chocolate square in the center. Scoop another cookie dough ball and put it on top of the chocolate. Press the edges of the dough and shape the cookies.
Place on a cookie sheet or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining cookie dough and chocolate squares, leaving about 2 inches in between on the baking sheet, as these cookies will spread when baking. Sprinkle some cane sugar on top for extra flavor.
60 gram milk or dark chocolate bar
Chill Cookie Dough. You will want to chill the cookies for 15-30 minutes before baking for the best results. This helps with overspreading when the cookies are baking.
Bake Cookies. Once the oven is preheated to 350 °F, bake cookies for about 20-22 minutes or until golden brown on the sides. Remove from oven and gently transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely (about 10 minutes) before enjoying. These cookies will be bigger than your typical cookie, so enjoy!
