Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix boxed brownie mix, melted butter, cream cheese, and an egg until combined.
3. Scoop dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookies are set but slightly soft.
5. While cookies bake, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
6. Remove cookies from oven and immediately press an indentation in the center of each.
7. While cookies are still warm, add a small scoop of peanut butter filling to each indentation.
8. Let cookies cool completely before adding chocolate topping.
9. Melt chocolate chips or chocolate wafers until smooth.
10. Drizzle or spread melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.
11. Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt for extra flavor.
12. Let chocolate set before serving or storing.

Notes
Press an indentation into the warm cookies right after baking to create the perfect spot for the peanut butter filling.
Add the peanut butter filling while the cookies are still warm to help it set smoothly and stick well.
Let the cookies cool completely before drizzling or spreading the chocolate topping to keep the layers neat.
