These delightful flourless cookies are packed with rich peanut butter flavor, perfectly chewy, and half-dipped in decadent dark chocolate with a sprinkle of sea salt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter (preferably not the natural kind)
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line two half sheet pans with parchment paper and set them aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use a spatula to mix together the peanut butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until they are well combined.
  4. Add the large egg, baking soda, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the bowl.
  5. Mix thoroughly with the spatula until all ingredients are well combined and the cookie batter has thickened.
  6. Scoop out 1-ounce portions of the dough.
  7. Roll each portion into a smooth ball (a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop works great).
  8. Place 8 cookie dough balls on each prepared sheet pan.
  9. Gently flatten each cookie dough ball slightly with the tines of a fork to create a crosshatch pattern.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies look dry and set and are just lightly browned around the edges.
  11. Remove the baked cookies from the oven.
  12. Cool the cookies completely on the sheet pan over a cooling rack before transferring them.
  13. Melt the chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips if you haven't already.
  14. Once cookies are completely cool, dip one half of each cookie into the melted chocolate.
  15. Place the chocolate-dipped cookies back on a clean parchment-lined baking sheet.
  16. Allow the chocolate to set, which will take about 20-30 minutes depending on your room temperature.

Notes

Use conventional smooth peanut butter for the best texture; natural peanut butter is too oily.
Cool cookies completely before dipping in chocolate to prevent breakage.
Do not overbake; cookies should be just set and slightly soft in the center.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
