Chocolate Cookies With THE BEST Peanut Butter Frosting

Scrumptious Chocolate Cookies With THE BEST Peanut Butter Frosting.  The most popular cookie that friends and families ask me to make! Recipe makes 2 dozen cookies.

Chocolate cookies aren’t appreciated enough in my opinion.  Usually when you hear chocolate in a cookie you automatically think of chocolate chip cookies, but how about straight up chocolate cookies?  Chocolate cookies are a thing of beauty when you bake them and they get that cracked texture on top.  Now throw on some frosting (that’s right) on top and you have your new favorite cookie.   The holiday season is all about comfort food and cookies are on the top of this list.  Who else receives cookies as gifts from their mother, aunt or sister?  It’s the best! This year I decided I’m going to make cookies and chocolates as gifts to family and friends.   There’s something real special about handing a nicely wrapped tin of cookies that still smell like they came straight from the oven to people you love.   

It’s almost as good as unwrapping a Goblin for Christmas.  Almost.

If you guys can’t tell I’m obsessed with peanut butter frosting right now so I asked why do cupcakes and donuts get to have all the fun? Cookies need decadent frosting too!  I’m sure noone will disagree with this… right?

This might be the best cookie dough I’ve made.  I kept telling myself  “You need to eat dinner tonight, don’t eat anymore!”.  But I did..

You’ll want to roll these into tablespoon sized balls (pictured to left).  Then gently press down with a spoon (not pictured).  And then when they come out of the oven they’ll be perfect (pictured to right).

I just love how crinkly these look on top when they come out of the oven.  When they are finished baking, they’ll be soft, but don’t worry, give them 15 minutes to cool and they’ll harden up.

Now you can totally just use this recipe to just make chocolate cookies.  Throw some powdered sugar on top and you’re done. 

Or you can take them to the next level and add peanut butter frosting on top.  OH LA LA LA.

This peanut butter frosting has become a staple in my recipe book.  I’ve also learned how easy it is to make my own powdered sugar from making this frosting so often. All you do is take 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cornstarch, put in the blender and blend until it has a powdered sugar consistency.  It’s so easy!

Ingredients

For the cookies

  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

For the frosting

  • 1 cup powdered sugar I make my own, instructions in Notes below
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoon milk

Optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick spray or use silicone baking sheets.

  • Roll up tablespoons of cookie dough and drop onto cookie sheet. Use a spoon to lightly press down each cookie.

    I see we had chocolate cookies on the brain – kinda. Though I didn’t have that peanut butter frosting on my brain but now that’s all I can think of – it is scrumptious or should I say DA BOMB!!!
    Hoping your weekend is DA BOMB too Pamela 🙂
