Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, and confectioners' sugar. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture. Once the dough begins thicken, increase the mixer's speed to medium to mix thoroughly.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 & 1/2 inches apart on the prepared pans.
- Bake, one pan at a time, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bottom edges are starting to brown. Do not over-bake. Cool the cookies on the pan on a wire rack.
- After the cookies have cooled completely, place the semisweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at half-power in 30-second increments, until the chocolate melts when stirred.
- Dip each cooled cookie halfway into the chocolate, shake off any excess, and place the cookies on waxed paper or silicone liners to set. Carefully re-warm the chocolate if it gets too thick.
Notes
- You can refrigerate the finished cookies for about an hour to help the chocolate set. This especially helps if your kitchen is warm.
- Recipe adapted from Peggy Trowbridge.
- Yield: Makes about 48 cookies.
- To store: Store the cookies tightly covered at room temperature. They should keep for up to 4 days. If your kitchen is warm, the chocolate may start to melt. In that case, refrigerating is fine as long as they are tightly covered.
