Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup crunchy or creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup peanut butter powder
For Dipping
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt, optional
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
- Add Peanut Butter Powder: Mix in the peanut butter powder to the wet ingredients. The dough will become quite thick.
- Form Cookies: Scoop 1 tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them between your hands to form smooth balls.
- Shape Cookies: Place the cookie dough balls on the baking sheet spaced apart. Press each with a fork to flatten and create the cookie shape, shaping them as desired as the shape will not change much during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges begin to turn golden. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet.
- Melt Chocolate: While the cookies cool, combine chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Cookies: Dip one side of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate and return them to the baking sheet.
- Set Chocolate & Serve: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Optionally sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before serving. Enjoy your treats!
Notes
- Use crunchy or creamy peanut butter based on your texture preference.
- Peanut butter powder helps reduce fat content while enhancing peanut flavor.
- The dough will be thick—do not add extra liquid.
- Chocolate dip is optional but adds a delicious touch.
- Store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg and ensure the honey is replaced with agave syrup.
