Ingredients
COOKIE
- ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter
- 10 tbsp unsalted butter room temp
- ⅓ cup brown sugar packed
- 5 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 egg yolk room temperature
- ¾ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
FROSTING
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar sifted
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 tsp whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease and line a 9-inch springform pan
- For the cookie base, in a bowl cream together your butter and peanut butter until whipped and lightened, about 2 minutes
- Add in your sugars and continue to beat until fluffy then mix in your egg, egg yolk, and vanilla
- In a separate bowl, whisk together your flour, baking soda, and salt
- Chop half of your chocolate chips into smaller pieces. This will give you a mix of small and large chocolate bites
- Add your dry ingredients to your wet, along with all of your chocolate chips, and briefly mix with a mixer until a few streaks of flour remain. Then use a spatula to finish combining
- Spread the dough evenly into your pan and bake for 45 minutes, until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden. Don’t overbake! You want the “cake” to be soft but firm enough to slice. I recommend inserting a thermometer into the center to check for a 190°F internal temperature
- Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling completely on a wire rack
- While your cookie cools, make your frosting by beating your softened butter in a bowl with a mixer to smooth it out. Beat in your peanut butter before sifting in your powdered sugar and whipping until smooth. Mix in your vanilla and whipping cream until combined, and place in a piping bag
- Decorate your cookie cake as desired and enjoy!
