Instructions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix the brownie mix, butter, cream cheese, and egg.
Scoop dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheets, making 24 cookies. Bake cookies for 12 minutes.

Topping

In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
Form into 24 small balls.
As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, press a peanut butter ball lightly into the center of each cookie.
Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Melt the chocolate chips on 50 percent power in microwave for 30 seconds at a time until almost melted, stirring until completely melted.
Pour 1/2 tablespoon of the melted chocolate over the top of the cookies so the peanut butter is covered.
Let chocolate set, then store in an airtight container.
