SHUT UP! These are so good I could actually eat them all in a day but I’m going to try really hard not to.
Got this idea from Oh She Glows: http://ohsheglows.com/2011/11/04/peanut-butter-chocolate-pillows/ which will link you to: http://www.theppk.com/2009/03/peanut-butter-pillows/ for the recipe, which I’ll copy/paste here to make life easier for y’all!
HOLY CRAP THEY TASTE GOOD.
I didn’t know what the heck “dutched cocoa” was, nor could I find it at the grocery store so I just used regular, organic, cocoa and they are perfect. I will note that the chocolate dough felt quite greasy, so much so that I was blotting it with a paper towel before wrapping the peanut butter but it baked perfectly so no worries! Also I used pretty crunchy peanut butter and it ended up being a tad more crumbly than I’d suspect creamy pb to be but both will definitely work and taste wonderful in your mouth! DELICIOUS!
Recipe:
Peanut Butter Chocolate Pillows
makes 2 dozen cookies
Chocolate dough:
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons non-dairy milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened dutch processed cocoa powder
2 tablespoons black unsweetened cocoa or more dutch processed unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Filling:
3/4 cup natural salted peanut butter, crunchy or creamy style
2/3 cup confectioner’s sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons soy creamer or non-dairy milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a large mixing bowl combine oil, sugar, maple syrup, non-dairy milk and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, black cocoa if using, baking soda and salt. Mix to form a moist dough.
Make the filling. In another mixing bowl beat together peanut butter, confectioner’s sugar, 2 tablespoons of soy creamer and vanilla extract to form a moist but firm dough. If peanut butter dough is too dry (as different natural peanut butters have different moisture content), stir in remaining tablespoon of non-dairy milk. If dough is too wet knead in a little extra powdered sugar.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bakings sheet with parchment paper.
Shape the cookies. Create the centers of the cookies by rolling the peanut butter dough into 24 balls. Scoop a generous tablespoon of chocolate dough, flatten into a disc and place a peanut butter ball in the center. Fold the sides of the chocolate dough up and around the peanut butter center and roll the chocolate ball into an smooth ball between your palms. Place on a sheet of waxed paper and repeat with remaining doughs. If desired gently flatten cookies a little, but this is not necessary.
Place dough balls on lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart and bake for 10 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and let cookies for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to complete cooling. Store cookies in tightly covered container. If desired warm cookies in a microwave for 10 to 12 seconds before serving.
