Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1/4 cup mixed berry sauce (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Drizzle
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern. This will also help flatten them slightly.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
- While the cookies are baking, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Once the cookies are out of the oven and cooled slightly, drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops and then drizzle with the berry sauce for an added pop of flavor.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving to allow the chocolate to set.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use room temperature ingredients for better incorporation.
- Don’t overbake; cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet after removing from the oven.
- For a deeper flavor, try using crunchy peanut butter.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate for drizzling, such as white chocolate or dark chocolate.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the mixed berry sauce for caramel or a different fruit sauce.
- Add chopped nuts or chocolate chunks to the cookie dough for extra texture.
- For a fun twist, mix in a tablespoon of cocoa powder for chocolate-flavored cookies.
What to Serve With It
- A glass of cold milk or almond milk for dipping.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
- Fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas to balance the sweetness.
- A hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy pairing.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the microwave.
