How do you know when your peanut butter cookies are done?
These cookies are a little different than your average cookie because it is more of a cookie batter than a dough, and they are stuffed with a large piece of chocolate! You will be able to tell by looking at the exterior of the cookie, if it looks raw still then it probably is 😉
Can you stuff the chocolate peanut butter cookies with anything else?
Oh of course you can, the options are endless, let’s have some fun. **Please note all of these creations will alter the nutrition listed in this blog.
- Stuff the cookie with some American Dream Nut Butter, either the almond butter or peanut butter would be amazing, heck the cashew butter would even be delicious. Click here to purchase some using my discount.
- Stuff the cookies with a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, you could even try a white chocolate peanut butter cup, *gasps* that would be so delicious.
- Do you know those little brownie bites? Are you seeing where I am going here… mhmm, stuff the cookie with a little brownie bite like this one, but definitely break it up, I would use half or ¼ or the brownie.
- Stuff the cookie with some marshmallow fluff, oh yeah that would be amazing!!
Are the chocolate peanut butter stuffed cookies high in protein?
The macros for the chocolate peanut butter stuffed cookies are really great! With the usage of powdered peanut butter and JoJo’s chocolate, each cookie has 5 grams of protein!
What can I use if I do not have coconut sugar?
This recipe is refined sugar-free, so if you want to stick to that I would recommend using coconut sugar, or a zero-calorie sweetener like Swerve, but if you do not really care use regular granular sugar.
Why does this recipe use powdered peanut butter?
With the use of sugar, and pumpkin you do not need real peanut butter. It also keeps the calories lower so it’s a win-win! I highly recommend purchasing some powdered peanut butter, it also adds some protein to the recipe as well.
