Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cup Flour, All-purpose
  • 3/4 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter softened, room temperature
  • 1 cup Peanut butter Creamy Peanut Butter!
  • 3/4 cup Sugar, granulated
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar Firmly packed
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tbsp Milk Milk of your choice!
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with a silicone reusable baking sheet or parchment paper.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to aerate and combine all ingredients. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter and peanut butter together until smooth and well incorporated.
  • Add the sugars (brown and granulated) to the butter mixture and mix for 2-3 minutes until the mixture appears light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla, mix until combined. Add in milk and mix once more.
  • Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, mix together cocoa powder and powdered sugar.
  • Using your hand or a medium cookie scoop, portion out approximately 2 tbsp of cookie dough. Roll into balls and roll in your cocoa topping.
  • Place rolled cookies onto baking sheet, allowing room for the cookies to spread out while baking (2 inches between cookies).
  • Bake for 10-14 minutes or until chocolate coating begins to crack and edges are firm to the touch.
  • Keep your cookies on their cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes to cool. Then, once firm enough to lift, transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Sofia's Tips:
  • How do I know that these cookies are done baking? The surface of the cookies will begin to crack! 
  • The cookies will continue to crack out of the oven as they cool
  • Craving an extra crunch?! These cookies can be taken up a notch by adding roughly chopped peanuts during the last mix of the cookie batter
