Ingredients
Cookies:
½
cup
(1 stick) salted butter
, softened
½
cup
granulated white sugar
½
cup
light brown sugar
, packed
¾
cup
creamy peanut butter
1
large egg
1 ½
teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 ½
cup
all-purpose flour
, spooned and leveled
Ganache:
⅔
cup
semi-sweet chocolate chips
⅓
cup
heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a hand or stand mixer, cream together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Mix the peanut butter into the butter mixture until well combined.
Blend in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
Slowly mix in the flour mixture on low speed, just until combined. Do not overmix.
Using a 1 ½ Tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and roll into balls.
Place the rolled cookies on the prepared baking sheets with at least 1 ½ inches in between them.
Bake one sheet at a time for 10-14 minutes or just until the cookies are cracked all over and golden brown on the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes and then use a rounded teaspoon to indent each cookie.
Allow them to cool for an additional 5-10 minutes before removing from the baking sheet to a cooling rack.
While the cookies are baking, make the ganache by placing the chocolate chips in a heat safe bowl.
In a separate, microwave safe bowl, place the heavy cream and heat in 30 second increments until steaming, about 1-2 minutes. Do not boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes.
Whisk together the chocolate and cream until completely smooth.
When the cookies have been moved to a cooling rack, pipe or scoop in about 1 teaspoon of ganache into each cookie.
Allow cookies to cool and ganache to set before serving.
