No Bake Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cookies

No Bake Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cookies - butter cookies recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Boil the cookie base:

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder. Cook until the sugar and butter are melted, stirring to combine.

    Bring the mixture to a boil, and then continue to boil for 1 minute.

    Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the rolled oats.

    Boil the cookie base:
  2. Scoop the cookies:

    Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and place the cookie dough on the lined parchment baking sheet. If you don’t have a cookie scoop, use a tablespoon measure and scoop well-mounded tablespoons of dough for each cookie.

    You can either leave them the shape of the scoop or shape them by gently rolling and flattening between your palms.

    Scoop the cookies:
  3. Make the peanut butter drizzle (optional):

    If you'd like to add the peanut butter drizzle, melt the peanut butter and coconut oil together in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir to combine, then drizzle over the cookies using a spoon.

    Skip this drizzle if you're planning to pack up the cookies for eating on the go; the drizzle softens a little when the cookies are at room temperature, which can make them a little messy when eating on the go.

    Make the peanut butter drizzle (optional):
  4. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up the cookies and set the drizzle:

    Transfer to an airtight container.

    Cookies will keep for about a week at room temperature, or a month if refrigerated. If you added the peanut butter drizzle, keep refrigerated so the drizzle stays firm.

Slice n’ Bake Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Cookies. - butter cookies recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add the peanut butter, and mix until combined. Add the flour and salt, beat until combined and the dough forms a ball. If the dough seems too crumbly, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it comes together. The dough should not be overly sticky.

  2. Divide the dough in half. Place each ball on a large piece of plastic wrap. Using your hands, shape it into a rectangle about 6 inches long and about 2 inches wide. Wrap the dough up in the plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 30 minutes, or the fridge for 3 hours or overnight. If you have an empty tin foil box (yes, the one you get your tin foil out of) laying round, fit your dough roll inside to help the dough set in a rectangular shape (see above photo). Alternately, you can make circle cookies as well.

  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  4. Unwrap the dough and cut the rectangular log into 1/3 inch slices. Arrange the slices 1 inch apart on a baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 10-14 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack.

  5. Spread each cookie with peanut butter and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Transfer to the freezer and freeze 20 minutes. This makes coating in chocolate easier.

  6. Melt the chocolate and let cool 10-20 minutes prior to dipping.

  7. Holding the cooking on the ends of a fork, dip each cookie in melted, cooled chocolate and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Place the cookies in the fridge to set for 20 minutes. Store in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

    Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat. Lightly spray the cavities of a nonstick mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. Combine the dry ingredients:

    In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and set aside.

    Combine the dry ingredients:
  3. Cream the peanut butter and butter:

    Add the peanut butter and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer. Beat together on medium speed until fully combined and creamy, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stop and scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. The mixture will be loose and on the thinner side.

  4. Add the sugars, egg, and vanilla:

    Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the bowl and beat on medium speed, scraping the bowl as needed, until thickened and fluffy, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

    Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat together on medium speed, scraping as needed, until fully incorporated and the mixture is lightened and creamy, about 15 seconds more.

  5. Add the flour mixture:

    Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat on low, scraping as needed, until just combined with no dry bits of flour remaining, about 20 seconds. Use a rubber spatula to give the dough one good stir, scraping the bottom of the bowl, to ensure everything has been fully combined.

    Add the flour mixture:
  6. Portion the dough:

    Using a 1 1/2-inch scoop or tablespoon, divide the dough into heaping tablespoon portions to yield 24 larger portions or up to 30 smaller portions of dough. Use your hands to roll each portion into a ball.

    Place a ball of cookie dough into each cavity of the prepared mini muffin tin. Do not press the dough down.

  7. Bake the cookies:

    Bake the cookies, rotating halfway through baking, until they are golden, puffed slightly, and the tops are matte and dry to the touch, 8 to 12 minutes. It’s okay if the cookies are just beginning to turn golden brown around the edges, but the tops should not be deep golden brown (or they are overbaked).

    While the cookies bake, unwrap the mini peanut butter cups.

    If you’re baking more cookies than fit in your mini muffin pan and you only own 1 pan, bake them in batches. Wipe out any crumbs and re-spray the pan to prevent burned bits or sticking.

  8. Finish with the mini peanut butter cups:

    Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire rack. Immediately, while the cookies are still hot, press an unwrapped mini peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie.

    Let the cookies cool in the pan until they are slightly set up and cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.

  9. Cool the cookies:

    Carefully, holding the top of a cookie, twist to release it from the pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. If you find the cookie to be delicate or the chocolate is moving around, allow the cookies to cool an additional 5 minutes in the pan.

    Serve completely cooled or still warm while the peanut butter cup is melty.

    Leftover cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container in a single layer or stacked with a piece of wax or parchment paper between the cookies for up to 4 days.
