Choclate Peanut Butter Cookies
- In a mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of whole milk until smooth and creamy.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup of black cocoa powder, 1 package of instant chocolate fudge pudding mix, 1/4 cup of powdered milk, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of softened salted butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
- Scoop out portions of the dough, about 2 tablespoons each, and flatten them slightly into discs.
- Place about a teaspoon of the peanut butter filling in the center, then fold the dough over it, rolling it into a ball.
- Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 15 minutes.
- Afterward, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before indulging.

Notes
Room temperature ingredients will mix better. Avoid over-mixing to keep cookies tender. Underbake for a gooey center. Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
