Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick plus 1 tbsp. butter
  • 1 1/2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped into small bits
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • FILLING
  • 2 cups confectioners sugar sifted
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  • Melt butter and cook until browned. Strain through fine sieve and cool slightly.
  • Whisk together eggs, vanilla and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in honey.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and cocoa into a medium sized bowl.
  • Add the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined and smooth.
  • Stir in the chocolate bits.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for two hours.
  • Beat peanut butter and confectioners sugar, adding just enough milk to get a smooth but thick filling. Refrigerate.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Spoon batter into generously buttered madeleine cups, mini muffin tins or other decorative baking tins just until about 2/3 full.
  • Bake for approximately 12 minutes. Remove from pans to cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Using a serrated knife cut each cookie in half to make two "sandwich" halves. Spread one side with peanut butter filling and top with second half. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
