Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes.
- Mix in the peanut butter until well combined.
- Blend in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Slowly add in the flour on low speed, just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Using a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and roll into balls. Optional- roll balls in granulated sugar for extra crunch.
- Place the rolled cookies on the prepared baking sheets with at least 1 ½ inches between each cookie.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 11-14 minutes or just until the cookies are cracked, do not overbake.
- 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.
