Step 1: Make the Shortbread Cookies
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla and mix well.
- Gradually add the flour and salt until the dough forms.
- Roll into small balls, flatten them slightly, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Let cool completely.
Step 2: Add the Peanut Butter Layer
- Mix peanut butter with powdered sugar for a thicker consistency.
- Scoop a small amount and flatten it onto each cooled cookie, pressing lightly so it sticks.
Step 3: Coat in Chocolate
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth.
- Dip each cookie completely into the chocolate using a fork, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Place onto a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until set.
🧊 Storing Tips
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For longer storage, freeze in a sealed container with parchment between layers.
🎁 Perfect for Gifting or Celebrations
As shown in the image, placing the cookies in aluminum trays makes them easy to transport, store, or gift to friends and family. Wrap the trays with plastic and add a ribbon for a festive touch — great for holidays, bake sales, or school events!
