Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Cookies
    3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 cup white sugar
    1 cup packed brown sugar
    1 cup butter, softened
    1/2 peanut butter
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    2 eggs
    2 tablespoons sour cream
    Filling
    1 1/2 cups peanut butter
    1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Preparation
    Mix together flour, cocoa, & baking soda in small bowl.
    In large mixing bowl, beat butter, both sugars, & 1/2 cup peanut butter until light. Blend in vanilla, eggs, & sour cream.
    Mix dry ingredients in with wet, and set aside.
    In separate bowl, mix together powdered sugar & 1 1/2 cups peanut butter.
    Roll filling into 1-inch balls. Alternatively, you can chill filling slightly, roll into a long cylinder, and slice.
    Take small amount of dough, about twice the size of a filling ball (1 1/2 - 2 tbsp), and form a little cup. Put a filling ball inside, and pinch the dough-cup shut.
    Place filled dough-balls about 2 inches apart on non-stick cookie sheet.
    Flatten the balls with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
    Bake in preheated 375 deg. F for 7-8 minutes.
    Let cool on cookie sheet for 3 minutes, then cool the rest of the way on wire rack.
