What could be better than a peanut butter cookie?
How about a supersized peanut butter cookie that has also has a creamy chocolate frosting edge and is flourless?!
Sound good? Good. Cause, that’s what we have today. 👍
The Ingredients List:
- Peanut butter *
- Brown sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- Butter
- Powdered sugar
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
* A Note about Peanut Butter: Regular peanut butter works best for this recipe. While I love eating natural peanut butter, it’s a bit too oily for this cookie. If you only have natural peanut butter on hand, you can add a bit of flour ( about 1/4 cup) to the batter to absorb the extra oil.
How to Make: First, mix your batter. It will be thick. Spread your batter into a greased 9 inch round pan. Then, take a fork and make a few criss cross patterns on top of the batter, just like a classic peanut butter.
Bake it. Be sure not to over bake your cookie cake. You want the edges be brown, but, the middle may still seem soft. This is OK. It will firm up as it cools. Then, let it cool completely before frosting.
When you are ready, whisk together the ingredients for the frosting. With a piping bag or a plastic storage bag, add a decorative border around the cookie. If you don’t want a border, of course, decorate it however you wish. However you wish to decorate it, do it immediately after making the frosting. It firms up pretty quickly.
Grab a glass of milk and enjoy a slice.
Enjoy-
