Gelato filled Triple Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

When I saw the recipe for Triple Threat Chocolate Fudge Peanut Butter Cookies on howsweeteats.com I had to make them! How can you go wrong with cocoa powder, melted chocolate, chocolate chips and peanut butter?! We had them last night and I have to say they were delicious but they left me wanting a scoop of cold, creamy ice cream. So while I was at the store today I picked up a pint of Talenti Double Chocolate Gelato and decided to turn the cookies into gelato sandwiches. If you're in the mood for chocolate this will do the trick...

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup peanut butter
3/4 cups sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
1 tsp of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 Pint Talenti Double Chocolate Gelato

Cream butter, peanut butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until fluffy. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and mix until combined. Add in melted semi-sweet chocolate and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Refrigerate dough for 4-6 hours. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scoop 1 heaping tsp of dough and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. After cookies have cooled completely scoop a spoonful (20 grams) of gelato onto a cookie then press another on top. Store in the freezer.

Makes 48 cookies
(24 sandwiches)
