Haunted Peanut butter cookies

Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies with dark chocolate stains…

What’s a peanut butter cookie without chocolate? It’s like a beach without sand. It’s not a totally disaster but still very, very incomplete!

Peanut butter is one of the most amazing things in the world. I know I’m just talking about peanut butter but the thing is “peanut butter is incredible”. Nothing tops its ultrageous texture and its nutty flavour! It’s a long time favourite at my house, we buy our own peanuts and just blend them until fully creamy. It’s really that easy and quite fun do. It’s exactly what I call “2 in 1”. You get to lick the whole blender and you can make the most unsual and thrilling combinations. Like cinnamon peanut Butter or Almond peanut butter! It’s sounds crazy, right? Well, no worries! In these cookies, I’ve use the classic peanut butter (no weird ingredients!). Just peanuts, chocolate and more chocolate…

The crucial step for these cookies is beating the coconut oil with the peanut butter. You can only add the remaining ingredients, if you have a fluffy and creamy batter ready to rock! If this step goes according to plan, you are set to go. You’ll have some fantastic cookies with super-crispy edges!

These cookies don’t require a lot of time and I bet they’ll quickly become the perfect addition to your morning coffee or afternoon snack! Ready to join the peanut cookie trip? I am. Oops! Again…
