on Oct 06, 2014, Updated Oct 21, 2020
This easy 4 Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe is the easiest and tastiest cookie I have made in quite some time. My family loves peanut butter cookies and our favorite 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookie that I shared with you last spring has been a cookie recipe we make VERY often. If we are craving a quick cookie for dessert they are perfect. This past weekend we were considering making our Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies but I really did not have the extra time to make a longer recipe. So, I got to thinking about adding chocolate to our favorite 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies. I was not quite sure if it would work but, we were willing to give it a try.

So, I grabbed my Peanut Butter, Sugar, Egg and some baking cocoa and decided to test it out. I am amazed at how tasty they were and it only took one attempt to get them perfect. The Peanut Butter and the Chocolate blend was super tasty!
This Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe is going to be perfect for serving up through the holidays. Plus, I think everyone would enjoy a batch at my moms group for a gift too! I think we will toss them in a jar with some ribbon and we will have a quick, easy and inexpensive gift.

Anyone added Nutella to the recipe yet? If so, how much did you add?
Can u make without egg? I’m out of eggs! Help!!
Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead?
Oh man, i made these and they were delicious. Everyone who ate them loved them. They tasted like reeses pieces, which i am always a big fan of. Plus something for those who are gluten intolerant. Thank you for it!
I added chocolate chips to them. They were a hit!!
Thanks for updating the recipe to show about how many cookies it made. My batch, with using a Tablespoon as a scooper, made 16.
I added a little bit of instant coffee but I should have compensated by adding less cocoa power because the cookies came out real brittle and dry. They’re tasty, but are tastier when submerged in almond chocolate milk :)
