Cookie Friday is back! Yay! Awful two weeks without any cookies, right? Well, the cookies are back and better than ever before! I told you already there will be a little surprise coming up… and guess what?! There is a surprise! Tadaaaaaa…
Today I have a guest on my blog helping me out with the Cookie Friday! Yay! I could tell you all sorts of things about my guest, of course, but I think I’ll just let her take the wheel herself… After all, there’s no point in creating more work for myself than necessary. Right?!
Over the coming weeks, there will be more guests bringing along a recipe or two for cookies and stuff like that. I hope you enjoy this little »Cookie Friday Project«. By the way, you can see the new Cookie Friday banner further down. When you kick off a special event, everything around it has to fit the theme, too. Don’t you think?
Hello dear bake to the roots readers,
I am Sarah from the blog Knusperstübchen. I am blogging mainly in German, however, I provide recipes also in English if explicitly wanted. I have stayed a couple of years in America and Ireland and came back with a whole bunch of great recipes that needed to be shared. On my blog I am now sharing these recipes and of course other favorites my family, friends and I love. These brownie peanut butter cookies are definitely a must bake and I am very happy to share the recipe today with you. Thank you, Marc, for having me.
The cookies are very easy to bake. You just need some cocoa and chocolate and you are almost ready to go. They totally remind me of brownies as they are soft and fudgy inside but then again they are as crunchy on the outside as cookies should be. As I love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter (who does not?!) I put some peanut butter mixture on top. Holy moly if you looove reese’s peanut butter cups you will definitely love this little treat. Now, let’s bake and enjoy your cookies.

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside.
2. Melt semi-sweet chocolate and butter for the cookie dough and let cool down slightly. Now beat eggs and both sugars until light and fluffy. While whisking add the chocolate-butter mixture. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this together with the vanilla to the bowl and mix in. Chop the milk chocolate and fold it into the dough. Place the dough with a tablespoon onto the baking sheet, leave some space in between.

1. Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen.
2. Die Schokolade und die Butter für den Teig schmelzen und dann leicht abkühlen lassen. Eier und Zucker zusammen aufschlagen, bis die Masse sehr hell wird, dann unter ständigem Rühren die Schoko-Butter-Masse unterrühren. Mehl, Backpulver und Salz vermengen und zusammen mit der Vanille in die Eier-Schoko-Masse rühren. Die Milchschokolade grob hacken und unterheben. Den Teig etwa esslöffelgroß auf das vorbereitete Blech mit etwas Abstand verteilen.
3. Erdnussbutter, Puderzucker und Butter cremig rühren und mit einem Teelöffel jeweils einen »Klecks« in die Mitte des Cookie-Teigs geben. Die Cookies etwa 10 Minuten backen. Abkühlen lassen, nach Belieben mit geschmolzener Schokolade dekorieren (optional) und servieren.

Habe die Cookies eben aus dem Ofen geholt und Sie duften wunderbar.
Ich hatte nur mit dem Teig Probleme, der war sehr flüssig, müsste dann Mehl nachschütten.
Auch wurde meine Erdnussbutter Gemisch nicht flüssig, sondern mehr bröselig wie Streusel, aber dieses stört nicht, schmeckt so lecker.
Geschmacklich sind sie top.
Liebe Grüsse Franziska
