Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

2 Eggs (room temperature)
3/4 cup Coconut sugar
1 cup All-natural peanut butter (runny)
2 tbsp Butter (melted)
2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 cup Cocoa powder
1/2 tsp Sea salt (extra for topping if desired)
1 tsp Baking soda
3/4 cup Dark chocolate chips

Equipment

1 Baking sheet

Method

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add the eggs and sugar and whisk until very smooth.
Add the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla and whisk until fully combined and smooth. Add the cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and use a spatula to mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop two tablespoons of dough per cookie and form them into balls. Place each ball on the baking sheet and flatten with the back of a spoon, leaving some space between cookies. Use another baking sheet or bake in batches if needed. Sprinkle with flaky salt, if using.
Bake in the oven for seven to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Notes

These chocolate peanut butter cookies are the perfect combination of rich, indulgent flavor and wholesome, simple ingredients, making them an irresistible treat for any occasion. Made with creamy all-natural peanut butter, antioxidant-rich cocoa powder, and naturally sweetened with coconut sugar, this recipe delivers a deep chocolate flavor balanced with a smooth, nutty richness. The addition of dark chocolate chips creates pockets of melty goodness in every bite, while a touch of vanilla enhances the overall warmth and depth of flavor.

Unlike traditional cookie recipes that rely heavily on refined flour and sugar, these cookies are naturally flourless, making them a great option for those looking for a gluten-free dessert. The use of coconut sugar provides a more balanced sweetness with a lower glycemic impact compared to refined white sugar, while peanut butter contributes healthy fats and a boost of plant-based protein.

Whether you’re making them for a weeknight dessert, holiday cookie tray, or meal prep snack, they come together effortlessly and bake into bakery-quality cookies right at home. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top enhances the chocolate flavor and adds a subtle contrast that elevates each bite.

Perfect for chocolate lovers and peanut butter fans alike, these cookies are a satisfying treat that feels indulgent while still incorporating more mindful ingredients. They also store well, making them a convenient option for grab-and-go snacks or sharing with family and friends.
