Servings: persons

2-3/4 cups Flour
1/2 cups Cocoa Powder
1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1/2 cups Butter, Softened
1-1/4 cup Sugar
2 whole Eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla
3/4 cups Greek Yogurt
FOR THE FROSTING:
1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
6 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/4 teaspoons Salt
3 cups Powdered Sugar
1/3 cups Milk

1
In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2
In the bowl of a stand-mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate the eggs, followed by the vanilla, and the yogurt, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Gradually add the dry ingredients until it all just comes together. The dough will be sticky.
3
Divide the dough in half and flatten each half into a disc. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
4
Preheat oven to 425u00b0F, placing oven rack in the middle of the oven. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
5
Unwrap the dough and place it onto a floured work surface. Dust the top of the dough with flour also. Roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut the dough with a round cutter (about 2-3-inch size cutter). Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough.
6
Bake the cookies 6-7 minutes until cooked through and set. Transfer cookies immediately to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
7
For the frosting:
8
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle or whisk attachment, cream together the peanut butter and butter. Add the vanilla and salt. Turn the mixer down to low and add the powdered sugar. At this stage, the mixture will turn crumbly. Add milk gradually until the frosting comes together and becomes light and creamy.
9
Frost cookies (I used a piping bag with a large round tip in a round swirling motion, then used a small offset spatula to lightly spread the frosting). Sprinkle the cookies with sprinkles as desired directly after frosting so that the sprinkles will adhere.
10
Store cookies in an airtight container.

Note: The frosting recipe makes enough to frost the cookies generously, as pictured. Frosting recipe adapted from Cooking Classy.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
