Ingredients

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

For the Chocolate Ganache

  • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (gluten free)

Instructions

For the cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Beat all three ingredients together, then roll into about 1½ inch balls.
  3. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Press the dough balls down with a fork and bake for about 8-10 minutes. (See notes above.)
  4. Cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Sandwich together with chocolate ganache if desired.

For the Chocolate Ganache

  1. Melt together in a double boiler (I just use a glass bowl over simmering water):
  2. Match up the cookies that are closest in size and then sandwich them together with a rounded teaspoon of the chocolate ganache.

Recipe Notes

I found that by adjusting the baking time you could make them softer or crisper. I varied the baking time from 8-12 minutes and they were good both ways so just bake a couple as a first batch if you want to experiment with making them the way you prefer.
