Happy Cookie Friday! It’s 2021 and the Cookie Friday continues, of course. Some were already afraid that I get rid of this category on my blog… But don’t worry, I still have a few ideas in store for delicious cookies! Well, actually a lot of ideas. Like these Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies – they’re just too good not to share them with you ;P
We are now into our sixth year with good ole Cookie Friday. It’s crazy that I baked so many cookies already. Theoretically, I could turn this blog into a “cookies only” blog. With one cookie recipe a week this kind of bake is definitely the most-baked here. More than cakes, cupcakes, or cheesecakes – none of them can keep up with the cookies. Cookie recipes are undefeated on top of the list for several years now ;P
I am always very happy when someone in the comments says that she/he likes the Cookie Friday and that they are looking forward to the next recipe coming up. I really love that. Cookies are really great (not only mine), so I can absolutely understand that ;) Cookie recipes are normally quite easy to prepare and always delicious at the same time. What else could you ask for? I can’t remember a cookie recipe going wrong completely so far – unlike cake recipes I test sometimes ;P
The cookies today are – once again – very simple. Classic cookie dough with peanut butter and to create some “extra crunch” there are also some chocolate-coated peanuts added to the dough. Two birds with one stone, so to speak. The chocolate-coated peanuts create the crunch and also add some chocolate to the dough to create that great flavor we all like so much – peanut butter and chocolate! ;)
By the way, I used spelt flour for these cookies because I like to use it for my bakes in general. If you can’t (or don’t want to) use wholemeal flour for your bakes, spelt flour is slightly better for your body than regular wheat flour. You could exchange it with regular a/p flour if you only have that at home – absolutely no problem – but I actually recommend using spelt flour. Just sayin’ ;P

Notes
Enjoy baking!
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 ;)
