Chocolate dough: | |
1/2 cup | canola oil |
1 cup | sugar |
1/4 cup | pure maple syrup |
3 tablespoons | non-dairy milk |
1/2 teaspoon | vanilla extract |
1 1/2 cups | all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup | unsweetened dutch processed cocoa powder |
2 tablespoons | black unsweetened cocoa or more dutch processed unsweetened cocoa powder |
1/2 teaspoon | baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon | salt |
Filling: | |
3/4 cup | natural salted peanut butter, crunchy or creamy style |
2/3 cup | confectioner’s sugar |
2 to 3 tablespoons | soy creamer or non-dairy milk |
1/4 teaspoon | vanilla extract |
In a large mixing bowl combine oil, sugar, maple syrup, non-dairy milk and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, black cocoa if using, baking soda and salt. Mix to form a moist dough.
Make the filling. In another mixing bowl beat together peanut butter, confectioner’s sugar, 2 tablespoons of soy creamer and vanilla extract to form a moist but firm dough. If peanut butter dough is too dry (as different natural peanut butters have different moisture content), stir in remaining tablespoon of non-dairy milk. If dough is too wet knead in a little extra powdered sugar.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bakings sheet with parchment paper.
Shape the cookies. Create the centers of the cookies by rolling the peanut butter dough into 24 balls. Scoop a generous tablespoon of chocolate dough, flatten into a disc and place a peanut butter ball in the center. Fold the sides of the chocolate dough up and around the peanut butter center and roll the chocolate ball into an smooth ball between your palms. Place on a sheet of waxed paper and repeat with remaining doughs. If desired gently flatten cookies a little, but this is not necessary.
Place dough balls on lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart and bake for 10 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and let cookies for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to complete cooling. Store cookies in tightly covered container. If desired warm cookies in a microwave for 10 to 12 seconds before serving.
