Chunky Chocolate Peanut Butter Thumbprint Cookies Food

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• For the peanut butter filling: Line 2 regular baking sheets and 1 smaller one with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the peanut butter and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Using a tablespoon scoop, portion into 18 rounds and place them on the small parchment-lined pan. Put them in the freezer to firm up, at least 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the cookie dough: Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the brown sugar, butter and granulated sugar until nice and combined, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg and beat until smooth, scraping the bowl if necessary to make sure everything is incorporated.
• In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, coffee granules, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the mixer gradually, mixing on low until totally incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
• Scoop the cookie dough into eighteen 2-tablespoon portions and with your palm, flatten each scoop into a disc.
• Place one peanut butter round in the center of a dough disc. Bring the edges of the dough around the peanut butter round and enclose completely. Roll to ensure all the peanut butter is covered. Flatten with your palm, creating a disc shape once again. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter rounds and dough discs. Split the finished discs between the 2 lined baking sheets.
• Bake until the cookies are golden brown, 10 to 11 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and allow them to cool slightly before eating, 5 to 7 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter. Add the sugar and continue creaming, then add the vanilla and mix. Mix in the flour and salt. Add the milk and chopped chocolate and mix. Roll into 1 1/2-inch balls and dip the top of the ball in chopped peanuts. Place on a cookie sheet 1 1/2 inches apart and push your thumb in the middle to make a depression. Bake until light golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool while you make the filling.
• To make the filling, over hot water melt the chocolate then stir in the remaining ingredients. Cool 5 minutes then fill the centers of the cookies. Allow to slightly set, approximately 10 minutes.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER THUMBPRINT COOKIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and move a rack to the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
• Combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract and egg in a large bowl and stir until fully combined. Form 24 balls, 1-inch in diameter, and set evenly spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until lightly browned and crisp on the edges, 15 minutes.
• Remove the cookies from the oven, and cool for 5 minutes. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to press into the middle of each cookie to create an indent about 1/4-inch deep. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon of the chocolate-hazelnut spread into each cookie indent, refrigerate until the chocolate-hazelnut filling is no longer runny, 10 to 15 minutes.
