Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies

February 8, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Apparently I am on some kind of chocolate and peanut butter kick, but I can’t help it!  Those two flavors go so well together and honestly what’s not to love?  So today I created another version of my peanut butter cookies which are just perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies (GF)
These peanut butter cookies taste just amazing! They have a nice crunchy shell with a soft middle and totally scream peanut butter! Then to boot the melted dark chocolate on them is to die for. The chocolate adds a little pizzazz and really takes these cookies to another level. And of course you must have sprinkles for a Valentine’s cookie, which I think makes the cookies looks just adorable. I simply love them.

My Husband was thrilled to death when I told him I had PB cookies for him to take to work. Yes, the man who is sick of Peanut Butter was so happy for these cookies. I kind of slacked on making him weekly cookies and bread for him to have at work. He looked at the cookies and said pretty, can I take them all to work? How could I have not said yes to that? So off the whole batch went. I’m kind of glad because as I write this I could only imagine how many I would pop in my mouth.
Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies
To make these cookies, I took the traditional 3 ingredient PB cookie recipe which is egg, peanut butter and sugar and zipped it up a bit because I didn’t want an uneven, broken up looking cookie. I made my cookies with an extra egg, brown sugar and cornstarch. It all came together beautifully and no broken or cracked edges. they all turned out perfectly even, moist and delicious. I actually like this peanut butter cookie the best so far. Simple, easy, gluten-free and low-calorie! What’s not to love?

A crispy peanut butter cookie with a soft center that is dipped in dark chocolate and sprinkled with little candies.
Serves: 38 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 cup dark chocolate melting wafers
  • sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
  3. In a bowl, add peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until combined. Beat in cornstarch.
  4. Roll about a tablespoon size of dough and place on prepared cookie sheet. Gently flatten with your hand. With the tine of the fork, press into the cookie to make a cross pattern. Note: If you are not going to dip the cookies in chocolate, I recommend after you roll the dough into a ball, roll it in a little granulated sugar to add a little more sweetness. Then continue with the directions.
  5. Bake in oven for 7 - 9 minutes, until lightly golden on the bottom. Let cookies cool for 2 minutes and place on a baking rack to cool completely.
  6. Meanwhile in a microwave safe bowl, add chocolate and microwave for 20 seconds, stir and microwave in 10 second increments until chocolate is melted, stirring in between each increment. I found using a pyrex measuring cup worked great and easy for deep dipping.
  7. Dip half the cookie in the melted chocolate and place back on baking sheet. Add sprinkles if desired. Let the cookies sit until chocolate hardens about 45 minutes.
  8. Store in an airtight container with parchment between each layer.

Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies (GF)
Gosh I have been on a chocolate dipping kick and I still have a couple more recipes that involves chocolate dipping that I am going to try to get to this weekend. Maybe I shouldn’t? I have had my fair share of chocolate lately, yet I can’t quit. I guess it’s because I found Ghirardelli melting chocolate wafers on sale at Target for $2.44 a bag. I couldn’t resist that price, so I bought them up. Shame on me! I just love that darn Target!

Well today I am off, I was invited to a Tillamook Cheese and Yogurt Brunch in San Francisco today. I can’t wait! I just hope the rain holds off, but I doubt it will. Nothing worse than wandering through the city in the rain. I got my Husband to go with me and this will be his first blogging event. I wonder how he will react when everyone takes pictures of their food? It’s going to be fun!

Have a wonderful Saturday, stay warm and safe! I know the East Coast is supposed to get hit with a snow storm again. You poor Guys!

Toodles,


Jennifer

    Super easy recipe … need to make. They remind me of the chocolate chipped chocolate chip cookies that my grocery store sells (Wegmans). Chocolate dipped cookies are classic!

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
