Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°

Step 2

Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a medium bowl combine brownie mix, butter, cream cheese and egg. Stir until dough comes together, it will be very thick and sticky. I used my hands.

Step 4

Form rounded tablespoons sized portions of dough into balls, placing on baking sheet about 2 inches apart, making an indentation with your thumb in the center of each.

Step 5

In another bowl stir together peanut butter and powdered sugar. Form peanut butter into teaspoon sized balls and press into the indentations in the brownie cookies.

Step 6

Press peanut butter down slightly because the peanut butter won’t spread and you don’t want the cookies to be too tall.

Step 7

Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set.

Step 8

Transfer to wire rack to cool.

Step 9

When cooled top each cookie with about a tablespoon of chocolate frosting.
