Peanut Butter Brownie Gooey Butter Cookies

• 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
• 1/3 cups Cocoa Powder
• 1-1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1/4 teaspoons Salt
• 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
• 1/2 cups Unsalted Butter, Softened
• 1 whole Egg
• 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
• 1/3 cups Peanut Butter

1. In a bowl combine the flour, cocoa, sugar, and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla and peanut butter and mix until creamy.
2. Add the flour mixture to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined. Cover and place in the refrigerator so the dough can firm up a little bit.
3. Preheat oven to 350 F. Remove dough from fridge and roll the chilled dough into tablespoon sized balls. Place on an un-greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Then remove the pan from the oven and cool completely. The cookies will stay soft and gooey on the inside.
