Cookie Friday is back! Yay! Awful two weeks without any cookies, right? ;) Well, the cookies are back – better than ever before! I told you already there will be a little surprise coming up… and guess what?! There is a surprise! Tadaaaaaa :P
Today I have a guest on my blog for the Cookie Friday! Yay! I could tell you now some things about my guest, but I think I should let her speak for herself… btw. this is my new Cookie Friday banner – cute, right? ;)
Hello dear bake to the roots readers. I am Sarah from the blog Knusperstübchen. I am blogging mainly in German, however, 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.

8 oz. (225g) dark chocolate
1 oz. (30g) butter

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside.
2. Melt chocolate and butter, leave to cool slightly. Now beat eggs and both sugars until light and fluffy. While whisking add the chocolate-butter-mixture.

3. Now whisk together peanut butter, cofectioners’ sugar and soft butter and add some of the mixture on each cookie batter (in the middle). Bake for about 10 minutes. Leave to cool, sprinkle with melted chocolate and serve.
1. Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen.
2. Schokolade und Butter schmelzen, leicht abkühlen lassen. Eier, Zucker aufschlagen bis die Masse sehr hell wird, unter ständigem Rühren die Schoko-Butter-Masse untergeben. Mehl, Vanille und Backpulver vermengen und in die Eier-Schoko-Masse rühren. Die gehackte Schokolade unterheben. Teig ca. 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, mit geschmolzener Schokolade dekorieren und servieren.

I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;) 
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.
