Ingredients
1cuppeanut butter
1cupsugar
1large egg
For the Chocolate Ganache
1/4 cupwhipping cream
1cupdark chocolate chips(gluten free)
Instructions
For the cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Beat all three ingredients together, then roll into about 1½ inch balls.
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.)
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
Melt together in a double boiler (I just use a glass bowl over simmering water):
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.
