These are like little peanut butter and chocolate balls. You basically mix it all up together. It is a perfect recipe to do at a sleepover or for parties. It is pretty simple and it really doesn't take too long. It takes about as long as chocolate chip cookies do, maybe a little longer, but if you love chocolate and peanut butter, you'll love this.

Tips:

  • For the best results, make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth and even cookie dough.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cookies bake evenly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help to prevent the chocolate from melting.
