About This Recipe

• These Cookies contain three distinct parts: the base cookie, the Peanut butter layer, and the chocolate coating.
• The Cookie is buttery and soft and uses a few simple ingredients. This recipe uses the basics such as flour, butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolks. Egg yolks bond the other ingredients and make the cookie soft and tender.
• The middle layer contains peanut butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream. These three ingredients are mixed into a creamy mixture, and a small amount is placed on top of the baked cookie. Try to make a soft dome on the cookie surface.
• The top coat is a chocolate ganache covering the peanut butter dome. Before the chocolate sets, place some sprinkles over the cookies.

How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Delights

• Start by making the cookie dough. Cream the butter and sugar before adding the yolks, vanilla, and almond extract. Add the flour after beating the egg mixture well. Chill the dough for an hour.
• Mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream for the peanut butter layer. This mixture initially looks sticky and unmanageable but will come together after a few minutes. Once the mixture is no longer sticky, gather the peanut butter mixture in the center with your fingertips to make a soft dome.

• Prepare the chocolate ganache by melting the chocolate and shortening. Dip the cookies into the chocolate from the peanut butter side. Place the cookies on a rack to set, and the chocolate hardens. For more fun and festive look, sprinkle the top with your desired sprinkles.
