Have a Most Impressive Father's Day with These Darth Vader Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies

• 8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 Darth Vader silicone mold
• Sugar for rolling

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Step 1: Place the chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl and microwave at 15-20 second intervals until melted. Spoon evenly into the silicone mold, tapping to release excess air bubbles. Place in the freezer to set.

Step 2: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prep baking sheets with parchment or silpats.

Step 3: In a bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 4: In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar.

Step 5: Add the egg, and vanilla.

Step 6: Add the dry ingredients until the dough just comes together.

Step 7: Shape the dough into 2-inch balls, then roll in sugar and place on the prepped baking sheets.

Step 8: Bake for 10 minutes.

Step 9: Remove the chocolate from the molds and press into the center of each cookie.

Step 10: Transfer to a wire rack to let cool completely.

Now you're ready to celebrate Dad and the power of the dark side.
