Ingredients:
- 1 box fudge brownie mix (19.5 ounce or family size)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preparation:
Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium bowl, combine the fudge brownie mix, vanilla extract, cornstarch, melted butter, softened cream cheese, and egg using a hand mixer. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Shape and Bake Cookies:
- Scoop the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, forming each into a round cookie shape. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges.
Prepare Peanut Butter Mixture:
- While the cookies are baking, mix powdered sugar and creamy peanut butter in a medium-sized bowl until well combined. Form the mixture into about 1-inch balls, making one for each cookie. Set aside.
Assemble Cookies:
- As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, lightly press a peanut butter ball into the center of each cookie. Allow the peanut butter mixture to soften slightly from the warmth of the cookies. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Melt Chocolate and Finish Cookies:
- In a microwavable bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Spoon about 1/2 a tablespoon of melted chocolate on top of each cookie, covering the peanut butter ball completely. Allow the chocolate to set before storing the cookies in an airtight container.
