Baking Soda½ tsp
Unsalted Butter, softened½ cup or 1 stick
Sugar½ cup
Brown sugar, packed½ cup
Peanut butter, ¼ cup

½ cup for the filling

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, lightly grease cookie sheets. 
2.  Combine flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a bowl and set aside. 
3.  Cream butter using an electric mixer at medium speed for 1 minute. Gradually beat in granulated sugar, then brown sugar and finally ¼ cup peanut butter until everything is well combined. 
4.  Add egg, vanilla extract and continue beating until well blended. 
5.  Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir in the flour mixture. Shape dough into ¼-inch balls and place them on prepared cookie sheets. 
6.  For peanut butter filling, stir together powder sugar and ½ cup peanut butter until smooth. Shape mixture into ¾-inch balls. 
7.  Flatten each chocolate dough ball and top with a peanut butter ball. Wrap chocolate dough over the peanut butter filling so that it completely covers the filling. Roll dough into balls, then slightly flatted them again, and sprinkle the top with some granulated sugar.
