Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients

• 150 g All-purpose flour
• 130 g Peanut butter
• 100 g Granulated sugar
• 100 g Brown sugar (Cassonade)
• 1 Egg
• 0 Vanilla extract (A splash of vanilla extract)
• 4 g Baking soda
• 2 g Salt
• 180 g Dark or milk chocolate (For the ganache)
• 120 g Heavy cream (Full-fat, for the ganache)

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Mix the butter (if using), peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract.
2. 2Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, then mix until a dough forms. Shape into 30g balls for a uniform result. (For consistent results, use a kitchen scale to weigh your dough balls.)
3. 3Bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown. As soon as you take them out of the oven, immediately press down the center of each cookie with the back of a spoon to create a well.
4. 4Prepare the ganache: heat the cream in the microwave (about 1 minute 30 seconds), add the chocolate, and let it sit for 1 minute. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
5. 5Pour a spoonful of ganache into the well of each cookie. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt if desired.
