Ok, the time has come to talk about our all time favorite cookie combination. Peanut butter meltaway cookies are seriously the bee’s knees and I don’t even know what that means, but if it’s good then these cookies are it!
Look at those soft and fluffy peanut butter cookies stuffed with melty chocolate wafers (basically a big chocolate chip that’s been flattened).
Check out how easy it is to make them!
Our Sweet Basil Kitchen – Our First Cookbook!
This cookie recipe is also in our cookbook, Our Sweet Basil Kitchen so if you haven’t snagged yourselves a copy you’d better get on that!!
Not only do I love cookies, especially when I’m tired, anxious, stressed, or sad (hello emotional eater!!), but more importantly I love to give them away. I’m such a firm believer that if ever you are feeling the weight of the world it’s time to turn the attention outward. Give a little love to someone else. Yes, the work will still be there when you get back, but somehow the load will seem lighter and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you accomplish things once you’ve served others.
Peanut Butter Meltaway Cookies
It’s never a bad day to snuggle up with a good book and peanut butter meltaway cookies or to drop by someone’s house and spread a little love.
Especially since not only are they filled with chocolate but they are rolled in cinnamon sugar which is surprisingly the best flavor combination EVER. We hope you love them as much as our family does!
Oh, and before I forget, these cookies freeze beautifully both as the dough and after baking! Hooray!!
Could You Substitute Biscoff For Peanut Butter in Cookies?
If peanut butter is not the primary source of fats in the recipe, you should be fine.
I would compare the fat content of the two.
Biscoff can definitely be substituted for peanut butter in peanut butter sandwiches.
Can You Use Salted Butter In Recipes That Call For Unsalted Butter?
If you do not have unsalted butter for a recipe, you could use salted butter.
Just leave out the added salt in the recipe.
Can Peanut Butter Cookies Be Frozen?
Cookies should be frozen individually after they’ve cooled completely, meaning they should be placed on a baking sheet, not touching, until frozen solid.
Once frozen, cookies should be placed in a freezer bag and can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
These look so amazing, there is no better combo than peanut butter and chocolate!
Totally. Two of my faves
It is the best!
I thought of re-arranging my Pinterest boards too but haven’t had the guts to start it yet! Bravo and kudos to you!
These Peanut Butter meltaways look and sound scrumptious…I’m sure they helps a lot when you get too tired of re-arrange and need a tea break. 😉 Have a wonderful week ahead.
GAH, It’s such a hassle
My favorite valentines treat is champagne and chocolate strawberries! These cookies look rediculous amazing!
I swear I commented on this post already but have clicked on it a few times the past 2 days from various pinterest boards. Let’s just say I’ve been here more than once to stare at these beauties 🙂
I love anything with chocolate, especially chocolate-cover cherry!
Oh bless us these look delicious. YUM!
Pinterest boards aren’t so hard to organize in the beginning when you only have a few pins. But by the time you realize that you really need some subcatagories, you have hundreds of pins. That’s a lot of clicking to change things around. You could probably get some sort of repetitive motion injury! Reaching for these cookies could give your wrist a break. I am going to bake some in the name of safety. 🙂
Worst thing you could post today when I’m craving cookies and haven’t a meltaway in sight.
Yum! I know what I’m doing this weekend.
I completely agree with you! I tried to re-arrange mine a few months ago but I gave up. I just have one that’s savory and one that’s sweet for most food items. I really want to do a board with my recipes but seriously, just too hard with moving pins individually. Sigh!
This cookie, my dear, looks SO good!! I love the melty chocolate in the middle!!
Thanks, Julie! I am kinda thinking I’ll grab an intern to do it. 😉
