Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (18-19 oz) fudge brownie mix (recommend Ghirardelli)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a small bowl, mix 3/4 cup peanut butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and thick.
- In a medium bowl, combine brownie mix, 2 eggs, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil until smooth and fully combined.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of brownie dough and flatten slightly in your palm. Place about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter filling in the center.
- Top with another tablespoon of brownie dough and seal edges well to encase the filling. Form into a ball and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and filling, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Avoid overbaking.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to let the filling thicken.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for better dough texture. Seal edges tightly to prevent filling leakage. Chill dough if it spreads too much. Cooling cookies is essential to firm up the peanut butter filling. Variations include nut-free butters, chocolate ganache filling, or seasonal flavor additions.
