Ingredients: 

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick, room temperature)
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter 
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup cocoa powder 
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour 

Instructions: 

  1. Preheat oven to 350F°. Line cookie sheets with silicone mat OR parchment paper.

  2. In a bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda). Set aside.

  3. Using a stand mixer, cream together butter and peanut butter. Add 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Mix until combined.

  4. Add vanilla and egg, and mix again. Slowly add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix dough.

  5. Using a small standard cookie scoop (2 TB), scoop balls of dough and then roll dough balls in a bowl of remaining granulated sugar.

  6. Chill dough balls in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before baking. Approximately 12 dough balls fit on standard cookie sheet.

  7. Bake 10-12 minutes, until cookies are matte and have a crackle appearance. Remove cookies from the oven and immediately press a Winans Peanut Butter Delight on top, one for each cookie.
