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 love these! Peanut Butter cookies are my weakness, and dipping them in chocolate is just glorious. And your pictures are so pretty too. I think I’m ready for V-Day now!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterd Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterday we watched on Netflix Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. If you like the classic Rom-Com movies you’ll enjoy it.
💗
I added a little of Spring decor to my bench in my living room. I will probably change this spot up once I pull my spring decor out, but for now I like it.
💗
It’s crazy how big this space looks in video, when it’s quite small. I call this my runway zone because the dogs run through this space like maniacs. So I have to keep it light with no breakables. 
💗
The two large pillows are from Target and the little bunny pillow is from the Target Dollar Spot. The throw is from Pier1 when they had a storefront. The sign on the wall is from Krumpets Home Decor.

Have you started decorating for Spring?
