Enjoy a hassle-free baking experience with this foolproof recipe that promises to satisfy your sweet tooth. Easy, quick, and utterly delicious!
First, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the cookie dough: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut sugar, and egg. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
Shape the cookies: Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern.
Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Be careful not to overbake—these cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Melt the dark chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Dip the cookies: Once the cookies are cool, dip half of each cookie into the melted dark chocolate. Place the dipped cookies on a parchment-lined tray and allow the chocolate to set. If desired, sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Enjoy! Serve once the chocolate has hardened, or store in an airtight container.
Notes
Use natural peanut butter made with only peanuts and salt.
Do not use peanut butter with added oils or sugars.
If you do not have coconut sugar, you can use brown sugar.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
