In another bowl, whisk butter and sugar on medium speed with an electric mixer. Do so for about 1 minute or until combined. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix to combine. Then mix in flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt until incorporated. Don’t overmix.

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and place them on your baking sheets spaced 2-3 inches apart. Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer and place one at the center of each dough piece.

Roll your dough into balls but leave a ½ inch hole at the top so that the peanut butter is still visible. Bake one sheet at a time for 10-11 minutes.
