Ingredients
  

Brownie Batter:

  • 1 pkg 4 oz unsweetened chocolate Baker's
  • 3 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter creamy
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp hot water
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Begin preparing the brownie batter by adding the chocolate and butter to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth. Stir in the sugars.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth. Then add the flour and stir to combine. Refrigerate the brownie batter until it becomes firm - 4-5 hours or overnight.
  • Now prepare the peanut butter cookie dough with an electric mixer by creaming together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Then, beat in the peanut butter.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time; then stir in the vanilla.
  • Dissolve the baking soda in the hot water. Add that to the batter, along with the salt. Finally, mix in the flour. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and remove the dough from the refrigerator.
  • Form the brownie batter into 3/4-inch balls. Then cover the brownie balls with the peanut butter dough. (I found it easiest to first roll the peanut butter dough into a 1 1/2-inch ball and then flatten it and wrap it around a brownie batter ball.) Cover the brownie ball completely.
  • Place the balls of dough to an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookie begin to brown. Cool on a baking rack.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container.
