1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown 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.
