Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (193.5 g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 ⅓ cups (267 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon red food coloring
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add butter, peanut butter, and sugar. Beat for about 2 minutes on medium speed, or until completely combined.
  • Turn the mixer to low and add in the egg, milk, vanilla, and red food coloring. Mix for about 30 seconds to incorporate, then turn mixer to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa, flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to butter and sugar mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Scoop dough out into 1 inch balls.
  • Put the confectioners' sugar onto a small plate or bowl.
  • Roll each dough ball in the confectioners' sugar to coat. Place onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. (If you want them extra chewy, chill for 10 minutes in the freezer before baking.)
  • Using the bottom of a kitchen glass or measuring cup, slightly flatten each cookie.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set.
  • Allow cookies to cool to room temperature before serving.
