As soon as the leaves starting to change colors and the air gets a bit colder and autumn sort of sneaks up on you then my mind starts to think about cookies and pies and cookies and chocolate.. And you get it.
Autumn is the perfect season for baking and staying inside when the rain pours outside. With a big glass of milk and a few of these cookies paired with a marathon of your favorite netflix series or a good book, that is how happiness is spelled to me.
These cookies are absolutely fantastic on their own with their creamy peanutbutter and caramel filling but if you want to take them to the next level I strongly suggest that you try dipping them in melted dark chocolate and sprinkle some seasalt on top. THEN they are truly ama-ziiiing!
for about 20 cookies you will need ( recipe inspired from one of Brown eyed bakers cookies, i absolutely love that blog )
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar (plus more for rolling)
½ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling:
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
¾ cup powdered sugar
10 werthers soft caramel chews
150 grams of dark chocolate
seasalt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
With an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together the butter, sugars and peanut butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat to combine. Reduce the speed to low, add the flour mixture and mix until combined. Put the batter in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
In a separate medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter and powdered sugar for the filling until smooth.
Split the soft caramels in half so uou end up with 20 pieces
In a small bowl, put some extra granulated sugar for rolling the cookies.
Take alrge tablspoon of of cookie dough and flatten it with your hands. Take about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter filling and place it in the center of the chocolate dough together with one caramel piece. Wrap the chocolate dough around the peanut butter center, pressing to seal. Roll the cookie into a ball and roll in the sugar. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the palm of your hand. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes. Let cool. Then dip the cookies in 150 grams of dark melted chocolate and sprinkle some seasalt on top.
