My thoughts: I love peanut butter cookies- and this recipe is incredibly simple (even kids would love making this!) I had extra candy melts from another project and that was the inspiration for the “black-bottom” part of this cookie (that, and the fact that I am ADDICTED to Fudge stripe cookies!!!) I wasn’t sure if the cookie and chocolate would stick together well- but they were inseparable! The drizzle on top just adds to the gourmet feel of these cookies. I hope you get a chance to try these– the “WOW’s” when you serve them are well worth the little extra time with the chocolate! Enjoy! r-

Just surfing the web and saw these cookies. They look delicious but I noticed that the recipe doesn’t have any flour. With just the eggs as a binder, how do these cookies keep their structure? Are they super sweet?
Hi Lisa! This is my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe by FAR….plus it makes my gluten free friends happy!
I’ve no idea how this actually works- but taste? They aren’t super sweet– just very rich with peanut butter- very moist and chewy and peanut buttery…if you want less sweet leave off the chocolate bottom, as that adds most of the sweetness to this recipe. Enjoy!
Thanks for the clarification. I’m looking forward to trying this recipe. I’m a sucker for a fudge striped cookie and this is one of the best looking I’ve ever seen.
Yummy!!! These were soooo easy and delicious. With dark chocolate and crunchy peanut butter this recipe was perfect for me. Definitely not too sweet at all. I didn’t want too many cookies hanging around. To minimize my guilt I cut the measurements in half and the recipe worked perfectly. It yielded 17 smaller cookies. I would do this again.
Oh I’m SO glad you liked them! I might have to try the crunchy peanut butter…yum!
These were really good. I messed up on the second batch though because I left them in balls and forgot to squash them down with the fork. However, I found it easier to hold the cookies upside down and spread the melted chocolate over it then lay them down upside down.
Thanks– I love them too– AND I’ve forgotten to smash them down before. Thanks for the tip!
