If you are craving for a slightly salty, savoury and soft cookie, look no further! These savoury Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies literally melt-in-your-mouth and I loe the nice touch of chocolates. My inspiration for this recipe stems from the need for a soft cookie for myself to eat as I just tightened my dental braces!
Apart from how easy it is to make these, the flavour combination of peanut and chocolate goes really well. Be warned however, that these Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies are on the luxurious side. They work well for a treat, but definitely nor as well for a strict diet!
Furthermore, the peanut flavour of this recipe is sufficient without being overbearing. You could use chunky peanut butter for a nice crunch, or smooth if you do not fancy that! However, do note that I used a sweetened peanut butter (Skippy) for this particular recipe. As such, if you are using an all-natural peanut butter, do consider factoring an additional two to three teaspoonfuls of sugar!
Apart from which, these Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies make a quick and easy snack to whip up in no time. These can be easily elevated too such as by having chocolate dips or other fillings. Consider dipping them in milk and jam. While the flavour combination may sound odd, it is absolutely delicious!
Without further ado, the recipe!

hi Javier, if I only have vanilla Essence, how much to replace with from the vanilla extract?
Hey there 🙂 Just use double the amount!
hi Javier,
if i want a crisper cookie, do i bake it longer like 13-15mins?
thanks.
Hey Yili! I would suggest baking it longer like what you have recommended. Be careful however in ensuring not to overbaking it by observing the corners of the cookies closely after the 10 min mark!
