Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Crinkle Cookies
Peanut Butter Crinkle Cookies w Chocolate and Honey Roasted Peanuts
Peanut butter cookies are always a hit and these are no exception. With the holidays upon us this recipe would be a great addition to your cookie tray for the peanut butter lover in your family.
From ‘littleepicurean’ Maryanne Cabrerea’s recipe (Holiday Cookies 2017 Bake From Scratch) the only switch up I made was to add in dark chocolate chips and honey-roasted peanuts to the batter, omitting rolling the cookies in the 2 sugars and the dipping step as well. I also used a fork lightly dipped in flour to slightly flatten my cookies for the signature ‘peanut butter’ look. In my house the cookie half dipped in the chocolate would be consumed and the ‘bare’ cookie would be left on the tray. When no one was looking of course!
