Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Cookies:
- 200g (7 ounces) dark chocolate, chopped
- 40g (1.4 ounces) butter
- 2 eggs
- 150g (5.3 ounces) white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 45g (1.6 ounces) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 50g (1.7 ounces) dark chocolate, chopped
- 50g (1.7 ounces) salted peanuts, chopped
Peanut Butter Frosting:
- 80g (2.8 ounces) powdered sugar
- 140g (5 ounces) smooth peanut butter
- 40g (1.4 ounces) butter, softened
- 40ml (1.35 Fluid ounces)heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Brownie Cookies:
- Mix the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and melt them together over a hot water bath. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool down.
- Mix the eggs with sugar in a bowl and whip until triple in volume.
- Stir in the vanilla extract then add the melted chocolate.
- Fold in the flour, sifted with baking powder.
- Add the chocolate and peanuts then place the batter in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Spoon dollops of batter on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven at 350F for 10-15 minutes, but not more. They’re not supposed to dry out – in fact, they will be incredibly soft when you remove them from the oven.
- Let the cookies cool in the pan.
Peanut Butter Frosting:
- Combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter and vanilla in a bowl.
- Mix until fluffy, about 5 minutes, then stir in the cream and mix a few more minutes.
- Fill the cookies, two by two, with a dollop of peanut butter frosting.
