Ingredients

For the Cookie:
1 Cup Peanut Butter (preferably smooth)
1/2 Cup Butter (cold)
1/4 Cup Sugar
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Egg
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 and 1/4 Cup Flour
1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1/4 Tsp Salt

For the Topping:
1/2 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/4 Cup Peanut Butter
2 Tbsp Butter
1/2 Tsp Vanilla
1 Cup Chex Cereal (or more as needed)

Instructions

Cookie: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut cold butter into cubes and mix with peanut butter until butter chunks are small and almost completely mixed in. Add sugar and brown sugar and mix just until incorporated. Add egg and vanilla and mix just until incorporated. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix until dough starts to form. Stop mixer and press dough with your hand until everything is mixed in well and there are no butter chunks. Put chunks of dough on cookie sheet and bake for 7 minutes.

Topping: Break chex up into whatever sized pieces you want on top of your cookies, and set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, put chocolate chips, peanut butter, butter, and vanilla. Microwave for 30 seconds, then pull out and stir. Repeat this until it is all melted and smooth. Spread on top of the cookies once they are cool enough, and then press in some pieces of chex on top to finish off. Eat to your heart’s content!
