Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

How to Make Chocolate Drizzled Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
  3. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  4. Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand to create thick, round cookies.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; that’s okay!
  6. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cookies cool, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  8. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies using a fork or a piping bag for a more controlled drizzle.
  9. Allow the chocolate to set before serving. Enjoy your delicious cookies!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your peanut butter is well stirred for a smooth dough.
  • Don’t overbake; the cookies continue to firm up as they cool.
  • For a fun twist, try adding a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate drizzle for an extra flavor kick.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the semi-sweet chocolate for white chocolate or dark chocolate for a different flavor profile.
  • Add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chunks into the dough for added texture.
  • Incorporate a tablespoon of cocoa powder into the dough for a double chocolate version.

What to Serve With It

  • A cold glass of milk for dipping
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an à la mode twist
  • Fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas for a refreshing contrast
  • Coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon snack

Storage and Reheating

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds.
