Is anyone getting sick of me posting about chocolate and peanut butter combinations? I know I’ve gone a little overboard at times, but they really are my favorite flavors and when combined, totally hit the spot. And can I help it if they also happen to be the favorite flavors of some of my favorite people, too? On Wednesday, my brother came home from nearly two years abroad, and we had a welcome home dinner party for him – he happens to love chocolate and peanut butter, and so did many of our guests (does anyone remember the decadence of Zoe’s birthday cake?). I had been eyeing this recipe from Isa’s Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar, and I knew this was the perfect opportunity to make the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pillows. The benefit of making these cookies when you’re about to have a dinner party is you can make them at the last minute, and it becomes a good activity for early-arrivals – you need lots of hands to roll all the little balls of peanut butter batter and cover them in dark chocolate cookie dough. Luckily, I have lovely friends who are happy to help out (and happy to do a lot of tasting along the way!). Make a double batch, and you’ll have enough for the party, the days following, enough to send as a birthday present to a friend out of town, enough for the friend doing the out-of-state delivery, and enough to give as little gifts to special people in your life. There is no end to these cookies…except, sadly, after giving them all away and watching them disappear as your little brother/garbage disposal consumes them in handfuls. Cute.

I was wondering if you were going to wait to post this until after I got them! They were very tasty!!
yeaaaah I’m so happy you liked them, even though they may not be YOUR favorite combination! haha. Happy Birthday my dear!!
The dark chocolate helped me get over the whole “peanut butter” aspect. 😉
I will never tire of peanut butter and chocolate combinations! To be honest, though, I wasn’t really into these cookies when I made them a while back; I wanted them to either be more candy-like or more cookie-like. It might just be me, though, because they were definitely gobbled up quickly!
these are one of my favorites from the book. they just look like so much more work than they really are:)
