It's become an anticipated custom & an extreme joy to be known as the Friday Dessert Girl. My coworkers are Peanut Butter Mongers (capitalized to portray their extremeness), so this dessert should suit their t-buds. I am a chocoholic, but I also enjoy PB. This recipe combines them in a simple yet duh-of-course-it-works-why-didn't-I-think-of-this way. My differences/suggestions: - I made 27 cookies... it was more manageable. - Sugar-coated cup: After flattening cookies with the sugar-coated cup, I sprinkled on some coarse sea salt. I asked my picky brother for some feedback regarding this, and he approved. Plus, it provides a nice visual contrast to the granulated sugar. - I ended up cooking each batch ~11 minutes. instead of 8. You should know that I bring a baked good every Friday to my office.

These cookies were heavenly and I'm definitely making them again. I was looking for a treat for my husband and a way to use the last of my peanut butter.

I could definitely love the cinnamon addition. The sea salt, too. Thanks so much for commenting and for the ideas! amanda, I’m glad you liked them. I could definitely love the cinnamon addition.

As you suggested, I plan on mailing some out as a (birthday) gift. I think they'll be perfect. I only got 20 cookies out of the dough, but I'm guessing that's because I always seem to overestimate how much dough goes into a ball. As you suggested, I only pressed my cookies down slightly, so they remained really thick and soft. So delicious! Next time I may add a little sea salt to give a little salty crunch, and possibly a dash of cinnamon or espresso powder to jazz up the cocoa a little more. Thank you for such a fabulous recipe and for hosting such a great blog! I made this last night and they were fabulous! As you suggested, I plan on mailing some out as a (birthday) gift.

I was definitely not disappointed and they were a huge hit. However, next time I may throw some rice krispies into the peanut butter filling to give it some crunch!
