Dark Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

    Cookies

    • 1 cup natural peanut butter
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 large egg

    Dark Chocolate Sauce

    • 1 cup [aflink u="http://amzn.to/1cqbbGd"]dark chocolate chunks[/aflink] (chocolate chips would work too, but the result will be sweeter)
    • 1 tbs [aflink u="http://amzn.to/1fu94kL"]coconut oil[/aflink]

    Instructions

    1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
    3. In a medium bowl mix together the peanut butter and sugar until they are smooth.
    4. Add in your egg and mix together until the mixture is totally smooth and completely consistent.
    5. Using a [cookie ballerhttp://amzn.to/1kp0BnN], or a couple of spoons (you want about a heaping tbs per cookie), portion out your cookies on the parchment paper.
    6. Using a clean hand, gently smash down your cookies. They will not spread very far on their own in the baking process, so this is how we are going to get them to be flat and cookie shaped. After you've gently pressed them down, use a fork to make a cross hatched pattern across the top of each cookie.
    7. Pop them in the oven and allow them to bake for 10-13 minutes. They should be golden brown in color.
    8. While you are allowing your cookies to cool, you can make up your chocolate dipping sauce. Using a double boiler or the equivalent, melt your dark chocolate chunks completely.
    9. When your chocolate is melted, add in your coconut oil and whisk to incorporate thoroughly.
    10. After your cookies have cooled completely, drunk half of each of them into the dark chocolate mixture and place them back on the cookie sheet.
    11. Place your baking sheet with the chocolate dunked cookies into the freezer for at least thirty minutes. You want your chocolate to set.
    12. Serve! Enjoy! If you have any leftover, store them in the freezer to prevent the chocolate from melting.
