Directions
Prepare the Cookie Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Bake the Cookies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll into small balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Chocolate Filling:
While the cookies are cooling, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl using a double boiler or microwave in 15-second increments, stirring until smooth.
If the chocolate is too thick, add the heavy cream and stir until a smooth consistency is reached.
Allow the chocolate to cool slightly but remain spreadable.
