1 cup (250 mL) icing sugar
1 cup (250 mL) smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup (125 mL) butter, softened
1/2 cup (125 mL) each granulated sugar and packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla
1-1/4 cups (300 mL) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (125 mL) cocoa powder
1/2 tsp (2 mL) baking soda
1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped peanuts
Preparation:
Line 2 rimless baking sheets with parchment paper or grease; set aside.
In small bowl, stir icing sugar with 3/4 cup (175 mL) of the peanut butter until smooth. Roll by 1 tsp (5 mL) into 50 balls; place on prepared pans. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat together butter, remaining peanut butter and granulated and brown sugars until fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla.
In separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder and baking soda; add to butter mixture, stirring to combine.
Roll by 1 tbsp (15 mL) into balls; flatten each to make 2-inch (5 cm) round disc. Place chilled ball in centre; bring dough over ball. Roll into smooth balls; place, 2 inches (5 cm) apart, on prepared pans. With bottom of round glass or measuring cup, press to about 1/2-inch (1 cm) thickness and edges are cracked. Lightly press peanuts into top.
Bake in top and bottom thirds of 375°F (190°C) oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through, just until set, about 7 minutes. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes; transfer to rack and let cool completely. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper in airtight container and store for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 weeks.)
