Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.75 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or shortening

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Scoop dough using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop. Roll each portion into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Flatten each ball of dough slightly by pressing down with a fork in a crisscross pattern.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cookies are cooling, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.

Step 11

Dip each fully cooled cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off gently, and place them on a sheet of parchment paper to set.

Step 12

Let the chocolate-dipped cookies sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes for faster setting.

Step 13

Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies with a cold glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage!
