Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar packed
- 2 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups peanut butter see note, smooth
- 6 ounces chocolate ¾ cup chocolate chips, melted **(see note)
- sea salt optional, flaky; for sprinkling
Notes
- Don't try to make these with natural peanut butter - they won't have the right texture. Use an old-school processed peanut butter such as Jif or Skippy
- If you want to skip measuring the peanut butter, use a 16.3 oz jar of Skippy. It contains the exact amount needed for this recipe.
- The dough might seem a bit loose at first. It will firm up into a thick cookie dough once refrigerated.
- Make sure you line your sheet pans with parchment paper (NOT wax paper) or a silpat, otherwise the cookies will stick to the pan.
- For best results, melt the chocolate gently either over a double boiler over low heat or in the microwave at half power in 10 second intervals. Stir constantly until just melted.
- If your chocolate seizes up, you can make it more liquidy by adding little bits of oil (coconut or vegetable) ½ teaspoon at a time and stirring until it comes back.
