Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup roughly chopped, roasted, salted peanuts, plus 48 halves for pressing into tops
- 10 ounces semisweet chocolate, cut into 1-inch chunks
Directions
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter andsugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until well combined. Add peanut butter, and beat until combined.
Add the flour mixture all at once, and beat on low speed until just combined. Add the peanuts; beat until combined. Wrap dough in plastic wrap, and chill in refrigerator at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Pinch off about 2 tablespoons of dough, and make a well in your hand with the dough. Place one chunk of chocolate in the center, and enclose with the dough to cover completely. Roll dough into about a 1 3/4-inchball with your hands.
Place the ball of dough on the baking sheet; repeat with the remaining dough and chocolate, placing cookies about 2 inches apart. Press 2 peanut halves into the top of each cookie.
Bake until cookies are golden, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Remove from the oven; transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Cook's Notes
Refrigerating the dough before forming, filling, and baking ensures that the cookies hold their shape as they cook, leaving a molten chocolate core.

Gloriousjean, I didn't see any whining or complaining other than your own. Maybe you should stick to "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!" A simple question is not a complaint, and does not make anyone less of a good cook than you claim to be!

Gloriousjean, some people have to ask first because they don't have the money/resources to try a recipe differently than it's printed. If it doesn't come out right, it's a waste of valuable time and money. Another part of being a good cook is sharing your experiences with others to help them grow.

I get so tired of all the whinning and complaining that goes on in this column. The writers give us recipes that they think we may like. You can change any recipe any way you want. I do it all the time. That's what makes a good cook. So instead of complaining, TRY IT.

CAN YOU USE CHOCOLATE CHIPS INSTEAD OF A CHUNK?

You can also substitute the bite size Snickers or Milky Way in the center in place of the chocolate.
