Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 12 plain fortune cookies
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Coating
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)
Toppings (Optional)
- Crushed peanuts or sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to easily place the coated cookies after dipping.
- Melt Coating Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and coconut oil if using. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the Cookies: Take each fortune cookie and dip it halfway into the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture, allowing excess coating to drip off to avoid pooling.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Lay the dipped cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch each other to prevent sticking as the coating sets.
- Add Toppings: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle crushed peanuts or sprinkles on top if desired to add extra flavor and crunch.
- Set the Coating: Allow cookies to set at room temperature until the coating hardens naturally, or refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes to speed up the process.
- Serve: Once fully set, the cookies are ready to be served or packaged as gifts.
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet and more wholesome taste.
- Substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter if there are allergy concerns.
- These cookies make excellent gifts; just ensure the coating is fully hardened before packaging to avoid sticking.
