Chewy and soft flourless peanut butter cookies dipped in dark chocolate! Each bite is filled with peanut buttery flavor, they're not too sweet - but just right, and naturally gluten-free. They're perfect for the holidays but also any time of the year too!
Mix the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, use a rubber spatula or large spoon to mix together the peanut butter, sugar, vanilla, and egg.
Roll the dough: Use a cookie scoop or eyeball to measure the dough and use your hands to roll them into 2-inch dough balls. Arrange the dough balls onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Press with a fork: Then use the back of a fork to press a criss-cross design onto each dough ball. This should flatten the cookies quite a bit.
Bake: then bake the cookies for 8 minutes.
Melt dark chocolate: either in a double-boiler or in a microwave - melt the dark chocolate. If using a microwave, do 30 seconds at a time (stirring in between each 30 seconds) to prevent the chocolate from burning.
Decorate: Then drizzle melted chocolate over the baked cookies! Let cool and allow the chocolate to solidify before enjoying! You can also pop the cookies in the fridge to speed this process up. Enjoy!
Notes
How to store cookies: place cooled cookies in an airtight container or ziplock bag and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
