Recipe for chocolate peanut-butter cookies
Gluten-free version of the delicious American cookies with peanut butter and chocolate.
We got the recipe from: “Sweet and Gooey – a Taste of the American Kitchen with Christel Pixi“, where the author Christel writes the following about the recipe:
“I’m really fond of peanut butter, and here I’ve used it in a swirl cookie, so it’s both beautiful and tastes great – and it’s even gluten-free.”

Chocolate Peanut-Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- 450 gram Peanut Butter soft
- 400 gram Sugar
- 3 pcs. Egg
- 4.5 gram Salt
- 85 gram Chocolate 60-80 %, chopped
- 18 gram Cocoa powder dark
- Sugar for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, beat together peanut butter, sugar, and egg for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- Now divide the dough into 2 equal parts.
- Set one part aside, place the other in a medium bowl, and add salt, chocolate, and cocoa powder. Massage until uniform. It will get a bit messy.
- Now you have two cookie doughs:
- Take 1 tbsp. of each dough, combine them, and roll into a ball.
- Place the ball on your baking sheet, and repeat until all the dough is used.
- Remember to place only 6 cookies on the sheet at a time.
- Pour 1 tbsp. of sugar into a bowl, and with the bottom of a glass, dip it into the sugar and press the cookies flat one by one.
- Remember to dip in sugar between each cookie.
- Bake your cookies for 14-16 minutes.
- Let them cool slightly before diving in.
