Chocolate Chips & Peanut Butter Filling:

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Whisk the Dry Ingredients:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

3. Cream the Butter and Sugars:

   • In a large bowl using a mixer, cream together the softened butter and both the granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes of mixing.

4. Beat in the Wet Ingredients:

   • Once the butter and sugar mixture is light and fluffy, beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Ensure everything is well combined.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

   • Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients (creamed butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla) and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough cookies.

6. Incorporate the Chocolate Chips:

   • Using a rubber spatula, fold in the semisweet chocolate chips to the cookie dough.

7. Shape and Fill:

   • Scoop out heaping tablespoon-sized portions of dough and flatten them slightly into discs.

   • Place a small dollop of peanut butter in the center of each cookie disc.

8. Encase the Filling and Bake:

   • Carefully fold the sides of the dough over the peanut butter filling, pinching the edges together to seal the filling inside the cookie dough.

   • Place the filled and shaped cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie for spreading.

9. Bake and Cool:

   • Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

   • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Enjoy!

    • Once cooled, you can enjoy these delicious Peanut Butter Stuffed Double Chocolate Cookies!
