Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat liners.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix on medium-high speed 1 to 2 minutes, until it is creamy. Beat in the peanut butter until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and beat for 30 seconds.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while the mixer is on low. Mix just until combined.
Scoop a tablespoon of the dough into your hand and then flatten it out. Place 2 chocolate discs on top, then fold the dough over the chocolate, then roll into a ball, enclosing the chocolate in the center. Roll the ball in the cinnamon sugar and then place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes then remove from the oven. Serve warm.
