Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
These chocolate-dipped peanut butter cookies start with a simple cake mix peanut butter cookie base, then each cookie is dipped halfway in dark chocolate. They’re soft, peanut buttery, and easy to finish with chopped peanuts or sprinkles.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter use no-stir, like Jif or Skippy
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix, I used Duncan Hines
- 1 (10-ounce) bag Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers
- chopped peanuts or sprinkles optional for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Stir together the peanut butter, eggs, and oil until smooth and well combined.
- Add the cake mix and stir until a thick dough forms and no dry streaks remain.
- Scoop the dough onto the lined baking sheets using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, leaving space between each cookie.
- Gently press each dough ball with a fork in one direction, then again in the opposite direction to form a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the cookies are set around the edges.
- Let the cookies cool briefly on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate wafers according to the package directions, stirring until smooth.
- Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate. Add chopped peanuts or sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
- Place the dipped cookies on parchment paper and let the chocolate set before serving.
Notes
- This recipe was tested with a 15.25-ounce box of yellow cake mix.
- Use a creamy no-stir peanut butter such as Jif or Skippy. Do not use natural peanut butter.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Freeze the cookies in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
