Easy Christmas Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Print recipe
This Easy Christmas Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe is so fun and festive, and takes just 3 ingredients to make! Perfect recipe for a Christmas cookie exchange!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup O Organics® creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Large O Organics® egg
  • 1 cup O Organics® Bittersweet Chocolate Chunks
  • crushed candy canes and sprinkles

Directions

Cookies
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350
In a medium bowl, beat together all ingredients until well combined. Roll dough into 1 1/2" balls and set on an ungreased cookie sheet 2" apart.
Step 2
Using the back of a fork, press down to gently flatten the cookie slightly, leaving imprints from the prongs going down the middle. Repeat, this time at a perpendicular angle to the last imprint.
Bake for 8-9 minutes and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to racks to cool completely.
Topping
Step 3
In a glass bowl, heat the chocolate in the microwave for about 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
Step 4
Dip half of each cooled cookie into the dark chocolate and immediately add sprinkles or candy cane pieces (if desired).
Allow chocolate to set up completely before storing in an airtight container.
These can also be frozen!
