Chocolate and Peanut Butter, the Perfect Combo

Chocolate and peanut butter, two of my all-time favorite things, especially when combined. But do you know what makes chocolate and peanut butter even better? When you turn the two ingredients into a decadent cookie! If you are a chocolate peanut butter fan, you will LOVE these cookies! The chocolate peanut butter combo is spot, just make sure you have a glass of milk close by because these chocolate peanut butter cookies are rich and that is a very good thing.

Ultimate Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

These are the ultimate chocolate peanut butter cookies because they are loaded with goodness. The rich and decadent chocolate cookies have peanut butter cups, peanut butter chips, and chocolate chips inside. I don’t mess around, I go ALL out when it comes to chocolate and peanut butter. For this recipe, I chop up peanut butter cups so you get big chunks of peanut butter cups in every cookie. This is a great recipe for using up leftover Halloween candy. I always steal my boy’s candy so I can make these cookies:) If you are wondering what kind of cookie to make with leftover candy, MAKE THESE! You won’t be disappointed.

Tips for Making Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

These cookies are easy to make and will be a family favorite. Here are a few tips to help you bake the most perfect chocolate peanut butter cookies.

Use unsweetened cocoa powder for this cookie recipe. The cocoa will give the cookies a rich chocolate flavor that goes great with the peanut butter. Chop the peanut butter cups into chunks that are a little bigger than the chocolate chips. Stir them in with a spatula, don’t mix them in with a mixer or they will get too smashed. I like to use these peanut butter chips. You can find them at a lot of grocery stores, but if you can’t find them, you can order them online. I use semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can use milk chocolate chips if you prefer milk chocolate. Sprinkle sea salt on top of the cookies before baking. You will love the salty kick! Don’t over bake the cookies. You want the cookies to be soft in the center and set around the edges when you take them out of the oven. The cookies will finish baking as they cool on the baking sheets. While the cookies are cooking on the baking sheet, lightly press extra chopped peanut butter cups, peanut butter chips, and chocolate chips into the cookies. You don’t have to do this, but it make the cookies extra pretty and extra delicious. You can’t go wrong with extra peanut butter cups and chips! Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the chocolate peanut butter cookies for up to 2 months.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cravings

I think this is the first year that I didn’t buy any Easter candy. Not one bag. I usually stock up before and after the holiday. I love the day after sales. Not this year. I knew Caleb would get plenty of candy at our neighborhood Easter egg hunt, so I bought the boys, I mean the Easter bunny bought the boys, books and clothes instead. I just put his neighborhood candy in new eggs and he didn’t have a clue. I am sneaky like that. It’s probably good that we don’t have a ton of candy lying around, but I have to tell you, I am bummed I didn’t get a Reese’s egg this year. I love those eggs! Why are they so good?Instead of driving to the store to dig through the Easter candy sales, I decided to fulfill my chocolate peanut butter craving by making Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies. Problem solved!

Gluten Free Cookies? Yes, Please!

I love making these chocolate peanut butter cookies with no flour because it makes them so easy to make, and I love seeing the look on people’s faces when I tell them that there is no flour in the cookies. They are always shocked! These are gluten free cookies? The looks are priceless! Again, I like being sneaky:)

You Won’t Miss the Flour I Promise

You will never know flour is missing in these fudgy chocolate peanut butter cookies! These gluten free chocolate peanut butter cookies are super soft and super rich! They look like plain old chocolate cookies, but after one bite you will get the peanut butter surprise! I added chocolate chips to the cookies because, why not? More chocolate is always a good idea! Sneaky old me:)
