If there’s anything I love more than chocolate, it’s peanut butter AND chocolate. So, just a few days after even the crumbs of the double chocolate chip cookies are gone, I made another type of cookies.
This time, I tried out the chocolate filled double delight peanut butter cookies recipe I found over at Baking Bites. I did some minor changes and the result is this…
Chocolate filled double peanut butter cookies
These cookies are so darn good and rich, I can only eat one at a time! So, here’s the recipe:
Chocolate Filled Double Peanut Butter Cookies
Chocolate filled double peanut butter cookies
Ingredients
Cookie dough
1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp butter, soften
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 tbsp palm sugar (gula melaka)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
18 tbsp peanut butter
Topping
1/4 cup almond nibs
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
2 tbsp melon seeds
Filling
6 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp cocoa powder
3 tbsp icing sugar
3 tbsp granulated sugar
4 tbsp finely chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
For the cookie dough:
1. Sift flour, baking soda and salt together.
2. Cut about 4 tbsp of palm sugar
Note: I added some palm sugar because it has a special fragrant flavour you can’t get from any other sugar. If you don’t have it, you can always use white sugar (about 1/2 cup) instead.
3. Cream the butter and sugars in a bowl
4. Then add in the egg, vanilla essense and peanut butter.
5. Beat the mixture till well combined.
6. Gradually add in the dry ingredients and mix well.
7. A smooth dough will form so spoon it onto a piece of parchment paper.
8. Shape the dough into a roll of about 3 inches in diameter
9. Refrigerate it for about 2 hours or till the dough harden.
Now, on to the cookie fillings:
10. Place all the ingredients in a bowl
11. Mix it around and you will get a smooth paste.
This is what the paste will look like after mixing the ingredients
12. Then form small balls with the paste
Finally, remove the dough from the fridge…
13. Cut the dough into pieces like this
14. Flatten the dough on your palm, place the ball of filling in the centre and wrap the dough around the filling. Make sure the filling is completely covered. You can shape it into a small ball.
15.Place the toppings in a bowl and mix it around.
16. Then, roll the ball of dough in the bowl of toppings.
17. Place the dough balls on a baking tray lined with baking paper
Make sure you leave more space around each ball as you will need to flatten it with the bottom of a glass or any cup with a flat bottom.
This is what the flattened dough will look like
Also, preheat the oven to 190C (375F).Finally, bake the cookies for about 10 minutes or until it turns a golden brown.
Once baked, it should look like this
Let it cool for a couple of minutes on the tray before moving the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
And you can eat this delicious chocolate filled double peanut butter cookies anytime!
Let me tell you, these are so good, all this trouble is really worth it. I was contemplating adding chocolate chips as the toppings but in the end, didn’t. Now, I know it would go great with it. Maybe next time…
