Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking sida
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 8 Oreo cookies, crushed into crumbs

Peanut Butter Mousse

  • ¾ cup peanut butter
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • 1 - 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • Pinch of salt

Optional

  • Mini Oreo Cookies
  • More Oreo crumbs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
  • Pour your Oreo crumbs into a bowl, wide enough to roll the cookie dough balls in. Set it aside.
  • Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for about a minute until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
  • Next, add in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch and mix until the dough forms. Add in the peanut butter chips and mix until just combined.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop to form the cookies. You're going to use two medium scoops per cookie. Scoop the dough, and roll two scoops together into one large cookie dough ball. Roll the dough into the Oreo cookie crumbs., then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to gently press the top of the dough ball just slightly. Repeat for the rest of the cookie dough, placing each cookie at least 3-4 inches apart.
  • Bake the cookies for 16-18 minutes. The centers of the cookies will still be a tiny bit soft, but will firm up as the cookies cool. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 7-8 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
  • To make the peanut butter mousse, you can use a hand or stand mixer. Add all of your frosting ingredients to a bowl and beat on a medium speed for about a minute until everything is combined and the mousse is light and fluffy.
  • Pipe the mousse onto the cooled cookies. Sprinkle with more cookie crumbs and top with a mini Oreo, if desired. Enjoy!
