Ingredients
Chocolate cookies
- 115 grams (1 stick or 1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
- 50 grams (1/4 cup) caster sugar or granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 140 grams (1 cup) plain flour or all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cornflour or corn starch
- 40 grams (1/2 cup) cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 40 grams (1/4 cup) dark chocolate chunks
Peanut butter filling
- 60 grams (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 190 grams (3/4 cup) smooth peanut butter
- 125 grams (1 cup) icing sugar or powdered sugar
Instructions
- Line two baking trays with baking paper. In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugars and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Add vanilla and egg and beat for a minute or so until smooth.
- Sift in flour, baking soda, cornflour and cocoa into the mixture, and stir until a chocolate dough forms. If it’s a little dry, add the tablespoon of milk and then stir in the chocolate chunks.
- Place the dough in the fridge and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced.
- Roll balls of the dough until smooth using your hands and pop onto the prepared trays. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 8-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
- Add your peanut butter, butter (make sure its nice and soft) and sugar to a large mixing bowl. Beat together on low using an electric mixer until combined and then turn the speed up a little and whizz until your mixture becomes nice and smooth.
- Add frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe onto one cookie and place another on top. Repeat with all cookies.
