Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.75 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or shortening
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop dough using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop. Roll each portion into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball of dough slightly by pressing down with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
Dip each fully cooled cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off gently, and place them on a sheet of parchment paper to set.
Let the chocolate-dipped cookies sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes for faster setting.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies with a cold glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage!
