Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwiches

I have a new chocolate cookbook and wanted to share this yummy recipe!

4 oz. best-quality dark chocolate (I use whatever is available at the grocery store)
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup cocoa powder
4 oz. milk chocolate, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (I use choc. chips)

Filling:
2/3 cup peanut butter
6 tablespoons confectioners sugar

Preheat oven to 325 F.
Melt dark chocolate with the butter in a microwave oven or in a bowl over hot water. Leave to cool, then add the sugar, followed by the eggs. Add the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Stir well, then incorporate the milk chocolate pieces.

Take a teaspoon of the mixture and form into ball, place on cookie sheet and press down lightly.
Repeat for the rest of the mixture, leaving 2 inches between the cookies, then bake for 12 - 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Mix together the peanut butter and confectioners sugar. Spread on one cookie, then top with second cookie, lightly pressing them together.

Enjoy these yummy sandwiches!
