For the Cookie Filling
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter or crunchy peanut butter for added texture
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened for easier mixing
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract for best flavor
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt or kosher salt can be used
  • 2 cups powdered sugar adjust for desired consistency
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 1½ cups semisweet or dark chocolate chips or white chocolate for a different taste
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening use sparingly to keep chocolate taste

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • electric mixer
  • microwave-safe bowl
  • baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Teaspoon
  • tablespoon
  • Toothpick or fork

Method
 

Prepare the Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until well incorporated and the dough is thick yet malleable.
Chill the Mixture
  1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm it up.
Form Balls
  1. Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  2. Place the balls on a baking sheet and refrigerate for an additional 10 minutes.
Make the Coating
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, about 1 to 1.5 minutes.
Dip the Balls
  1. Using a toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
Set
  1. Let the dipped cookies set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm.
