    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.

      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!

      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 :)
