American · Dessert · 27 min total

Classic peanut butter cookies get a decadent upgrade with a dip in rich dark 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
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat together butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
4. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly 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, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
7. Dip half of each cooled cookie into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment paper to set. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to speed setting.

Tips

• For a neater dip, chill cookies for 10 minutes before dipping.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• Use natural peanut butter for a stronger flavor, but avoid the oily kind that separates.
