Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Cookies - buttery cookies loaded with chocolate and peanut butter. So delicious you can't stop eating.

This may be one of the easiest recipes I share this holiday season.

A family favorite, my Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Cookies are packed full of rich dark chocolate chunks that go so well with the saltiness of peanuts.

The cookies is a bit crisp on the exterior and gooey from the chocolate.

I like to eat mine right out of the oven when the center is still warm and slightly soft.

Of course, you can give it a quick whirl in the microwave to get that same freshly baked feeling days later.

Just for variety, here are a couple simple tricks you can try to make this cookie your own.

Before baking the cookies, roll each ball of dough in granulated sugar.

This gives it extra sweetness and adds more crispness.

You can also incorporate ground cinnamon to the dough to give your cookie a little something special.

But for me, simple and classic is best.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
In a stand mixer, mix the peanut butter, sugars, egg and baking soda on medium speed until combined. Fold in the chocolate with a spatula.
Create 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet at least 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to rest on the baking sheet for approximately 5 minutes, before transferring to a rack to cool completely.

Recipe Notes

Because the dough has so much chocolate, try pressing the dough together to form the balls rather than rolling. It works better.

Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside is exactly how I like my cookies! I’m loving the big chocolate chunks in there too!

  Oh yeah, the big chocolate chunks are the best things on these cookies. :)

Best ever. 80% cacao was perfect, but I added a 1/4 cup ground coconut and 2 tbs of very good dark chocolate cacao powder. This will become a staple in my house.

Hi! I noticed there’s no flour in the recipe. Is this a typo error or you really don’t use flour?
