Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

American · Dessert · 27 min total

Classic peanut butter cookies get a decadent upgrade with a dip in rich chocolate. These soft, chewy cookies are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
7. Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until chocolate is set.

Tips

• For a crunchier texture, use chunky peanut butter.
• Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• If chocolate is too thick, add a little more coconut oil to thin it out.
