12 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 c unsalted butter cold and cut into small cubes (freezing butter slightly makes it easier to cut into cubes)
- 1 1/4 c granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ c dark cocoa powder
- 2 1/4 c all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp coarse salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 c peanut butter chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl cream together 1 cup of butter (cubed and cold) with 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one, by one followed by blending in 1/2 cup of cocoa powder until it is well incorporated.
- Next gently combine 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour along with a quarter teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of baking powder. Mix everything on low speed just until it is combined.
- Using a spatula carefully fold in 2 cups of peanut butter chips into the dough.
- Transfer the dough onto a work surface. Knead it briefly to ensure even mixing.
- Divide the dough into portions weighing around four ounces each (or divide it equally into twelve pieces) then roll each portion into balls and slightly flatten them to form discs. Arrange these discs on the baking sheets.
- Bake, for 16 to 20 minutes then allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack. Enjoy these treats inspired by Levain Bakery that have a crispy exterior and gooey interior!
