Make them, you won't regret it.


Peanut Butter Dough:
1 Egg
3/4 Cup sugar
1 Teaspoon vanilla
1 Cup peanut butter
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1/4 Teaspoon baking soda
2 Tablespoon all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons milk

Chocolate Dough:
1 Egg
1/2 Cup white sugar
1/2 Cup brown sugar
1 Teaspoon vanilla
10 Tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (5 oz or 5/8 cup)
1 Cup all purpose flour
1/2 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 Teaspoon salt
1/2 Teaspoon baking soda
1 Tablespoon milk





To make the peanut butter dough, cream the egg, sugar, vanilla, butter and milk until smooth.  In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and fold into the peanut butter mixture.  Set aside.

To make the chocolate dough, cream the egg, sugar, butter, vanilla and milk.  In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda.  Fold into the butter mixture until well combined.

Using a scoop (1 oz. - 1 1/4 oz.) grab about a third scoop full of the peanut butter dough and the rest of chocolate dough.  Don't worry if it's not exact.  Drop the scoops onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and keep them spaced a few inches apart to allow for spread.  Sprinkle a touch of sea salt on top of each scoop, if desired.


Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes and allow to cool before removing them from the baking sheet.  I used two baking sheets and alternated them in the oven.
