Ingredients

For the Brownie Cookies

  • 1 box brownie mix (18-20 oz)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs

For the Peanut Butter Topping

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

For the Chocolate Coating

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or coconut oil

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Cookies

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, all-purpose flour, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until a thick dough forms.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand to create a round disc.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Topping

  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter together until smooth and well combined.
  • Roll the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls, then flatten each ball slightly into a disc.
  • Place one peanut butter disc on top of each cooled brownie cookie, pressing down gently.

Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Coating

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  • Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate over each peanut butter-topped cookie, spreading it to cover the peanut butter completely.
  • Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm.

Step 4: Serve

  • Once the chocolate has set, serve the cookies and enjoy the perfect combination of brownie, peanut butter, and chocolate!

Cook Notes & Tips

  • Brownie Mix: Use a standard box of brownie mix (18-20 oz) for the best results. You can also use a homemade brownie mix if preferred.
  • Peanut Butter Mixture: If the peanut butter mixture is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before rolling it into balls.
  • Setting the Chocolate: If you’re in a hurry, place the cookies in the refrigerator to help the chocolate set more quickly.

Recipe Variations

  • Crunchy Peanut Butter: Use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy for added texture in the peanut butter topping.
  • Dark Chocolate: Substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Caramel Drizzle: Drizzle melted caramel over the top of the chocolate layer for an extra touch of sweetness.
