1/2cup115g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/2cup100g brown sugar
1/2cup100g granulated sugar
1/4cup60g peanut butter
1egg
1tspvanilla extract
2tbs30mL milk
1 1/4cupschocolate chips
For the drizzle: 1/3 cup85g peanut butter
Instructions
Toss the flour, cocoa powder and baking soda together in a large bowl and set aside.
Beat the butter on high speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl as needed.
Switch the mixer to medium speed and beat in the brown sugar, granulated sugar and peanut butter until combined.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
Turn the mixer off and pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Turn the mixer on low and slowly beat until a soft dough is formed.
Beat in the milk on medium speed.
Once mixed, beat in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed. The dough will be very thick and sticky.
Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 180C. Line two large baking sheets with baking paper and set aside.
Drop rounded balls of dough, approximately 50g each, onto prepared baking sheets.
Bake each batch for 10-12 minutes.
Remove from the oven. The cookies will not have spread much, so gently press down on them with the back of the fork or spoon. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
As the cookies are cooling, melt the peanut butter. Drizzle over warm or cool cookies. Allow the peanut butter to set for about 10 minutes.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
