These chocolate peanut butter cookies are easy to make with just five ingredients. I use a chocolate peanut butter spread that gives them a soft, dense texture and rich flavor.

I had a long weekend this past weekend and I was happy to finally have some time in the kitchen. I originally planned on these time-consuming recipes, but I’ve been obsessed with these easy spread cookies, so that is all I ended up making! My latest version are these easy chocolate peanut butter ones, which are just five ingredients.

5-Ingredient Cookies

A while back I was really interested in trying Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter. I love spreads like Nutella and Biscoff spread and I was excited to bake with this chocolate peanut butter spread. Using a spread means you don’t need as many ingredients when you make cookies.

Unlike other recipes I’ve made with Nutella, these cookies with chocolate peanut butter spread did not bake up the same. The cookies don’t spread as much and don’t have a chewy texture.

But they are soft and dense and very rich so I was happy with how they turned out.

Ingredients

  • Chocolate peanut butter
  • Flour
  • Brown sugar
  • Egg
  • Chocolate chips

Recipe Steps

Mix the chocolate peanut butter, flour, brown sugar, and egg in a large bowl. Once the dough forms, stir in the chocolate chips.

Scoop two tablespoons of dough to form each cookie. Roll each of them between your hands to form a smooth ball. Place the balls on the cookie sheet and lightly press them down to form a disc. The cookies don’t spread much while they bake.

Bake the cookie at 350°F for ten minutes. Cool them on the cookie sheets.

Even though they look like pure chocolate cookies the peanut butter flavor is very strong, which I like. There’s a subtle taste of chocolate that complements it. These are definitely worth making.
