Small Batch Peanut Butter Cookies
These small batch peanut butter cookies are based off of my well-loved flourless peanut butter cookies and inspired by the nostalgic nutter butters. Without the flour, these cookies have maximum peanut butter flavor and bake up with crisp edges & soft, chewy centers. Fill them with a dreamy peanut butter frosting and dip in melted chocolate for the best homemade version of a childhood favorite cookie.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and egg yolks until fully combined and smooth.
- Step 2
Whisk in the milk and vanilla.
- Step 3
Fold in the peanut butter with a rubber spatula, mixing for about 2-3 minutes to until fully incorporated.
- Step 4
Using a one tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough onto one baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze cookie dough for 15 minutes.
- Step 5
After 15 minutes, divide each dough ball in two (I weighed mine out to be ~14g each), then roll each ball in the sugar, gently squish the two together, and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Step 6
Dip a fork in water then in sugar and use to make a criss-cross indentation in each cookie dough ball. Freeze for another 15 minutes.
- Step 7
While the cookie dough is freezing for the second time, preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Step 8
Bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Step 9
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth.
- Step 10
Add the peanut butter and mix until fully combined.
- Step 11
While mixing on low speed, slowly add the powdered sugar.
- Step 12
Turn the speed up to medium, then add the salt and the heavy cream and beat until smooth.
- Step 13
In a small heat proof bowl, add the chocolate and neutral oil.
- Step 14
Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Step 15
Pair the peanut butter cookies up and spread the frosting on the bottom cookies, then press the paired cookie on top.
- Step 16
Dip each in the melted chocolate and enjoy!
