Cookie Dough
  1.  Beat both sugars, butter, and peanut butter on med speed for 3-4 minutes or until they are light and fluffy.

  4. Make balls out of cookie dough. (2 tbsp/ 42 g each)
  5. Flatten a ball of dough. Place a peanut butter ball in the center and wrap the dough around the peanut butter ball, enclosing it completely. Roll the dough between your palms to seal any cracks and make it round.

  7. Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

  1. It is necessary to chill both filling and stuffed cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Otherwise, the cookies will spread while baking and lose it's their chewy texture.
  2. Properly measure the ingredients, especially the flour.
  3. Do not place the cookie dough on an already hot parchment/butter paper. They will start spreading faster.
  4. Let the peanut butter stuffed chocolate cookies cool completely on the tray itself before removing them as they are very soft and might break if moved while it's still hot.
