1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg

Filling:

Preheat oven to 375.

Combine filling ingredients and blend well.  Form into 30
1-inch balls and set aside.  Beat sugars, butter, and peanut
butter until light and fluffy.  Add rest of dough
ingredients.  With floured hands, take about 1 tablespoon of

of a glass.  Bake for 7-9 minutes or until set and slightly
cracked.
