Ingredients

Cookie dough:

  • 6 tablespoons butter 86 grams
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips 120 grams
  • 4 ounces softened cream cheese
  • cup sugar 60 grams
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • cup freshly milled soft white wheat finely milled (77 grams)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 15 grams
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Topping:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar 100 grams
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • ½ cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small saucepan melt the butter and dark chocolate chips over low heat and remove from heat. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
  • While it cools, beat the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until it comes together. It will be a little clumpy, just make sure you can form it into balls.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to form 20 small balls of the peanut butter mixture. Roll in your hands until smooth and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla and beat for 6-8 minutes, until they turn fluffy looking.
  • Slowly add the melted chocolate to the mixing bowl while the mixer is going on low speed.
  • Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt and mix until combined. The dough will be runny - it’s supposed to be.
  • Refrigerate for 10 minutes - the dough should get a little but firmer.
  • Scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet with a large cookie scoop and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Once the cookies are removed from the oven, immediately press the peanut butter balls into the center of the cookies. Move them to a wire rack to cool. After they have cooled for about 10 or 20 minutes, gently press the peanut butter down so it is somewhat flat and disc-shaped.
  • Once completely cooled, melt the chocolate and coconut oil and top the cookies with about ½-1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate. Allow the chocolate to harden before eating.
