Baking is good for the soul my friends. There’s something so magical about being able to share something warm and fresh from the oven with friends and family. You know what I mean?

Now I know that cookies aren’t the healthiest choice to eat everyday, but treats are a really important part of a healthy life. As I’ve heard it said before, there is food for the body and then there is food for the soul. Cookies being the latter of course but still important.

Like I’ve mentioned recently, I’ve been really enjoying playing around with some healthier alternatives that still bake delicious cookies. It’s like a little experiment that I like to challenge myself with. It’s just really fun to see something turn out just as delicious when you can make it a lot more wholesome.

Anyway, in my experience, peanut butter cookies are always second to chocolate chip with a crowd. It’s pretty sad too, because they’re so good in their own way but the chocolate just always steals the show. You know what I mean?

That’s why I thought I’d get a little crazy and throw some chocolate onto these beauties. It’s obviously an optional thing so if you’d like to make them plain they’re still so good like that. I just wanted to give these a fighting chance against the classic chocolate chip cookie.

These turned out really good and theres no oil needed. They’re also gluten free and they’re so easy to make. So let me know if you decide to try these because I’d love to know what you think. 😉

Chocoalte Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies (V+GF)


Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 2 dozen cookies (about)

These cookies bring the magic of the chocolate and peanut butter combo into a perfect treat with every soft and crispy bite.

Ingredients

Cookies:


1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
2/3 cup coconut cream
1 cup organic cane sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup gluten free flour
1 cup oat flour (be sure it's gluten free if needed)
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar or chips (dairy free)

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Beat the peanut butter and sugar together in the bowl of stand mixer fitted with beater attachment. Beat in coconut cream one at a time. Add salt, baking powder, vanilla and beat until smooth. Add the flours one cup at a time until the dough comes together and is evenly mixed.
Roll the dough into 1 1/2 inch-ish balls and place on parchment lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Use a fork to press down and make criss cross marks on them. Bake for 10 -12 minutes until edges are just beginning to brown. Remove from oven and leave on pan for about 5 minutes, then remove to cooling rack.
If you'd prefer to press chocolate squares into them all, do this right after pulling from the oven. However, if you want to dip or drizzle the cookies, simply melt the chocolate over low heat in a double boiler and coat as desired.

Okay @gringalicious, you had me had peanut butter + chocolate = food for the soul. I’ll definitely be replicating these delicious looking treats and now have to follow you for access to all of your baking goodies. Thanks for sharing ✌️

Hola @gringalicious, se ven hermosas y seguro estan deliciosas, estoy seguro que mis hijos se comerían todas, claro con ayuda de sus padres jajajaja. Felicidades y bendiciones.

woow, se ven deliciosas e increibles.. fantastic

Funny to come across this today. I never make PB cookies because I have 2 kids with PB allergies, but I needed a snack for my husband and had a jar of natural PB from Costco approaching it's date so I decided to make some. The PB had separated, so i poured the oil in and blended it well with the eggs before adding the solid part of the PB. It all looked fine until I added the sugar-It turned into an oil slick! Yuk! I've been adding extra flour and even powdered sugar and it's still a gooey oily mess. I frozen half and refrigerated the other half to see if that helps, but it may go to the trash- or the chickens... :-)

Anyway, next time I'll follow your recipe, It looks amazing!

@crowbarmama Oh, I've had similar experiences with peanut butter in baking before. I hope they turn out alright. So good to hear from you.

@gringalicious Well, hubby likes them, so at least they didn't go to waste! Btw, I finally checked out fast-reply because I've seen you use it. What an amazing game changer! I think I saved myself at least an hour by using it today! So, thank you!

@crowbarmama I know, it's the best! I always feel so grateful to my friends @roxane and @oroger for creating it. They're amazing people.😀

@gringalicious Seriously! I'm still so impressed by how much time it's saving me! And I don't even have the volume of comments to respond to like you do! Super cool!

mmm I love peanut butter cookies. :) these look great!

You made amazing cookies. I love this sentence " there is food for the body and then there is food for the soul" Thank you.

"Food for the body and food for the soul!"

Well, peanut butter cookies hit the mark on that one. But dipping them in chocolate puts them on a whole other level! Another great food post Gringa. Hope you are well! -Dan
