- 2 cups (340 g) chocolate chips
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 (100 g) large eggs (at room temperature)
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 2/3 cups (340 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (100 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (100 g) white sugar
- 1/2 cup (110 g) dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking soda
- 1 teaspoon (6 g) salt
Liquid and Flavor Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons (8 g) pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) heavy cream
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie preparation.
- Whisk dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt) in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined and set aside.
- Utilize stand mixer to cream butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes, creating a light and airy mixture.
- Incorporate eggs individually at low speed, then add vanilla extract and heavy cream, ensuring complete integration of each ingredient.
- Slowly fold in dry ingredient mixture, mixing until just combined to prevent overmixing.
- Craft cookie dough balls using an ice cream scoop, gently flattening each into a disc shape.
- Create a delicate indentation in one disc, carefully fill with peanut butter, and overlay with a second disc, meticulously sealing the edges to form a filled cookie.
- Embellish cookie tops with strategically placed chocolate chips for added texture and visual appeal.
- Chill assembled cookies in freezer for 30 minutes to enhance structural integrity and flavor development.
- Transfer chilled cookies to preheated oven, baking for 25-28 minutes until edges are slightly crisp.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack, enabling proper setting and flavor melding.
Notes
- Chill the dough thoroughly to prevent spreading and maintain the perfect cookie shape during baking.
- Try different nut butters like almond or cashew for unique flavor variations and dietary adaptations.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips to elevate the richness and depth of the chocolate flavor.
- For gluten-free options, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to ensure similar texture and consistency.
