1-Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.

2-Mix dough: In a medium bowl, combine the brownie mix, melted butter, cream cheese, and egg. Mix with a hand mixer until a sticky dough forms, which takes about 2 minutes.

3-Form dough balls: Using a cookie scoop, form about 24 dough balls and smooth the edges to shape them into rounds. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

4-Bake cookies: Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid over- or under-baking for that perfect fudgy center.

5-Prepare peanut butter balls: While the cookies bake, mix the powdered sugar and peanut butter with a hand mixer until fully combined, then roll the mixture into 24 balls about 1 inch in diameter.

6-Add peanut butter centers: Right after taking the cookies out of the oven, gently press one peanut butter ball into the center of each warm cookie to create that signature filling.

7-Cool cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely and set.

8-Melt chocolate: Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second increments and stirring between each until smooth and glossy.

9-Add chocolate topping: Spoon about half a tablespoon of melted chocolate over each cookie to cover the peanut butter center, then let it set before enjoying.
