Chocolate pillows filled with peanut butter are the true embodiment of American home comfort. This dessert features a tender chocolate cookie hiding a thick and aromatic peanut filling. The flavor is rich and intense, with light caramel notes from the addition of honey and subtle coffee undertones that make it even more expressive. Traditionally, such treats are especially popular among sweet lovers in the USA, where peanut butter is a cult ingredient. They pair perfectly with a cup of coffee or warm milk. The pillows are soft on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth on the inside, creating a unique contrast of textures. This is an excellent choice for cozy evenings or festive treats that can provide a moment of sweet pleasure and pleasant memories.

Cooking steps

1. Mix butter, sugar, 1/4 cup of honey, and 3 tablespoons of coffee until smooth.

   Required ingredients:

   • Vegetable oil: 0.5 glass
   • Sugar: 1 glass
   • Honey: 100 g
   • Natural coffee: 4 tablespoons

2. Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and a pinch of vanillin on top. Mix thoroughly.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 250 g
   • Cocoa powder: 80 g
   • Soda: 0.5 teaspoon
   • Salt: 0.3 teaspoon
   • Vanillin:  pinch

3. For the filling, mix together peanut butter, powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of honey, a pinch of vanillin, and 1-2 tablespoons of coffee. The filling should be thick enough but not dry.

   Required ingredients:

   • Peanut butter: 180 g
   • Powdered sugar: 7 tablespoons
   • Honey: 100 g
   • Vanillin:  pinch
   • Natural coffee: 4 tablespoons

4. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Roll 24 balls from the peanut mixture.

5. Divide the chocolate dough into 24 parts. From each part, form a small round and place a ball of filling on top.

6. Wrap the edges of the dough around the filling and roll it into a ball with your hands so that the peanut filling is completely inside. This is very simple. Place on a baking sheet, slightly flattening them, about 1.5 cm apart.

7. Bake for 10 minutes. Leave the finished cookies on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
