Triple Threat Chocolate Fudge Peanut Butter Cookies.
Once upon a time I combined chocolate and peanut butter.
Luckily for you, it was yesterday. Yesterday!
Luckily for me too. Not luckily for my thighs. Not luckily for the 7 bikinis in my drawer that haven’t seen the light of day since this website began. But who wants to think about spandexy strings? Not I.
I would like to think about chocolate and peanut butter married into a fudgy cookie. And the tequila sitting on my counter begging to be made into another margarita. And the brie in my fridge waiting to be melted with cocoa fig spread. And this nail polish. Want.
Good news: I was swept off my feet yesterday. Not by my husband, who grilled chicken in an 80s-worthy tank top and boxers with teeth on them. Not by my DVR… which somehow froze on a Dancing with the Stars shirtless Maks scene. Anyone have some super glue remover for my eyes? Oh, and I need a new DVR… or not.
But whatever… I was swept off my feet by a massive chocolate craving. Cho. Co. Late.
It would be nice to say I handled this with a solitary square of the dark stuff after dinner, but yeah… I’m not wired that way. If you are… you’re sort of a freak. And I’m just being a mean girl because I’m jealous. And posses no self control.
I love freaks and would totally bake you a batch of these cookies though. Or you could just bake one yourself. It might get to you quicker. And it won’t be half eaten.
Peanut butter + cocoa powder + melted chocolate + chocolate chips = pure bliss. Did you know?
Triple Threat Chocolate Fudge Peanut Butter Cookies
makes 30-40 cookies
1 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/2 cup dark cocoa powder (I use Hershey’s Special Dark)
1 heaping teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
1 cup milk chocolate chips
Cream butter, peanut butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until fluffy. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and mix until combined. Add in melted semi-sweet chocolate and mix until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips. Refrigerate dough for 4-6 hours. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scoop large mounds of dough (about 2 tablespoons worth) and place on a cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
Off to spend the rest of my life (or 30 minutes) on the treadmill. Cookies for breakfast what?

Oh boy, if this is a threat then count me in! I want to be threatened by chocolate. A few of these & I would be bouncing off the walls •love•
I notice that you usually have a downsized recipe for sweets, but this triple threat is a full batch of deliciousness. You never do skimp on the good stuff. I am totally making these! Can’t wait!
OMG. This is when I get sad that I’m stuck in a small town in Michigan with no kitchen. I’m craving these right now and there is no substitute at the nearest Walmart. Why oh Why!
So if you are one of those weirdos who hates peanut butter, would this work without it? Or would it get too dry?
Welll……….
Yes it will work. :) Just leave it out!
These are a dream! I am jealous you had these yesterday. Why can’t you be my neighbor?
I wish I was too! Imagine the deliciousness we could swap.
That last photo seals the deal for me. The inside of that cookie looks so fudgey and decadent. I want.
Those look so tempting. My cookie dough wouldn’t make it to the oven, but that’s why I’m not a baker!
Pingback: so where were we « the edible perspective
WOW thank you so much for this, were throwing a surprise party for my brother this weekend and his best friend is bringing a big cake so I wanted to make something different besides cupcakes, I’m SO baking these! Too bad after I make these theres going to be too much cake left over and not enough Triple Threat Chocolate Fudge PB Cookies made :-p! ~Alyssa
oh man…is it bad that the photos alone triggered something!? these are divine and fit for royality! I will be bold and go there, yes, I will. :)
These do look dangerous!
One question: were the cookies still as melty/moist/heavenly the next day?
Or weren’t they around long enough to find out?
Oh my, I want these so much. You shouldn’t tempt me so early in the morning!
O M G
those look freaking amazing.
These cookies pretty much complete my life – – that is until I make them, and never want to leave home again because i’ll be too busy enjoying heaven.
But they’re calling my name to be baked – and then eaten…. right away.
Good Lord. And boy, is He GOOD.
I agree, I literally can’t stand people who can have just a bite of dessert and be done, or just a square of chocolate and satisfy their craving! Clearly I’m ridiculously envious, but really, who are these people?! haha
you make me want to constantly have butter in my fridge just so i can go in the kitchen and make things after i read your recipes. you’re killing me smalls! (except not really)(because who am i kidding, cookies are better than swimsuits)
Oh man… off to the store ( this is what happens when I am hungry, reading my google reader, and no one is home tonight. Cookies for ME )
I want some so bad! I’m trying to eat less of sweets with bathing suit season right around the corner. But your yummy dessert posts really are challenging my will power!lol
YES! thank you for assuring me that i am the only one who cannot satisfy a craving with 1 tiny piece of chocolate!…i’ll take a dozen of these please :)
OMG! I’ve died and gone to chocolate heaven! I had to wipe off my keyboard from all the drool…and that was just reading the post and seeing the pictures! I must must must make these today with my 12 year old daughter. YUMMMM!
DROOL!!
Just printed this to make one of these days. I’m a sucker for anything chocolate and so is my husband. Looks like my bikinis will be going into hibernation after I eat these!
Bookmarked. That’s all there is to say about this holy delicious-ness :)
I am the biggest sucker for anything that includes both peanut butter and chocolate! Seeing as your recipes make me run out to the store almost immediately, I see these being made in the very soon future. I am having the buffalo chicken mac and cheese pasta for dinner tonight (Point Proven).
My boyfriend would love these!
These are like brownies with chocolate chips… only… better. Becuase they’re cookies.
I think these might be your best cookie yet! They look incredible.
I don’t think I would have any left to bake–that dough looks amazing!
I love u but I hate dark chocolate. u make all these awesome looking dark chocolate things and it makes me wanna cry cause I just don;t like it. Sniffle Sniffle.
I actually don’t like dark chocolate either! Trust me, the dark cocoa powder does not taste like a piece of dark chocolate. Mixed with sugar it is amazing!
OH, lordy be. Could you please make something that I don’t want to try?! You could probably start your own cookie company with the likes of these!
I love you!! These are “bliss” indeed!! :-)
oh.my.god. you never fail to sweep me off MY feet with your amazing recipes!
Oh my word I’ll take all of these cookies right now! Peanut butter and chocolate together is pure bliss. :)
Oh dear those look like heaven…
I (heart) peanut butter and chocolate. I’m going to have to make these cookies. And then do hours of group strength training and kickboxing at the gym to make up for it. But it’ll be worth it!
So…….. the extreme deliciousness of these has already been confirmed in my household.
I about cried when I saw the dough had to be chilled 4-6 hours before baking. They were supposed to be my pre-dinner appetizer.
But they’re making a darn good bedtime snack right now. I used PB M&M’s instead of chocolate chips. YUM!!!!
I have to agree about that dough…it wouldn’t even make it to the oven! YUM.
I could just eat the dough!
I am SO making these! Chocolate and PB is my favorite combo!
wow looks incredible, jessica.
Can I have a giant spoonful of the batter!? It looks like the greatest batter ever mixed.
These look sinfully delicious!!
Help! I’m trying to loose some weight———AND—–your yummy recipes are workinig totally agaiinst me. Serously I am going to have to try the Triple Threats though…..they look just too too yummy to even try to resist. Thanks for all the great recipes.
These are amazing! I’ve had some serious chocolate cravings lately and I may just go have to make these. Now.
tomorrows baking….I also promised my daughter a cheering up parcel as she is taking end of term exams….her 4 favourite things, in no paricular order…..peanut butter, chocolate, peas and marmite…..so 2 out of 4 aint bad! ps she was the one who first sent me a link to your blog.. chocolate something in a jar???
