Peanut Butter Munchies

These little cookies have a very rich cocoa flavor with a sweet peanut butter filling....Who could resist Chocolate and Peanut Butter?
*For Cookie
1 1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Butter (softened)
1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Peanut Butter
1 Egg
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 Tbl Milk
*For Peanut Butter Filling
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
3/4 Cup Powder Sugar
You will also need about 2 Tbl Granulated Sugar for the top of each cookie before baking....
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl mix up your peanut butter filling and set it aside. It will be a very stiff mixture, and once it sits for a bit the fat from the peanut butter really sets into the powder sugar.
Next  beat the butter, both sugars, and the peanut butter. Once that is all mixed add the egg, milk, and vanilla. Now you can sift in all of your dry ingredients. Instead of using a wooden spoon, I actually used my hands to bring the dough together. You are going to have to use your hands any way, to make each dough ball, so I figured why not dig in!!
Now, take some of the chocolate dough, roll into a ball in the palm of your hands, and then flatten it a bit so you can stuff the peanut butter mixture inside. Roll the cookie back up so the peanut butter is completely covered with the chocolate dough. Take each filled ball and put on a lightly greased cookie sheet, then take a bottom of a glass dipped in the extra sugar and flatted just a bit.
Bake for about 8 minutes, or until they slightly start to crack. Remove and let cool.
