A homemade version of the classic Girl Scout cookie featuring a buttery shortbread base, creamy peanut butter filling, and a smooth chocolate coating.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 cups Milk Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add vanilla and then gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
  4. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into 2-inch circles.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are barely golden; cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Mix peanut butter and powdered sugar together until smooth.
  7. Place a tablespoon-sized dollop of the peanut butter mixture onto each cooled cookie.
  8. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  9. Dip each cookie into the melted chocolate, coating completely, and place back on parchment paper to set.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before cutting to prevent spreading.
  • Ensure cookies are completely cool before adding peanut butter to avoid melting.
  • Store in the refrigerator for a firmer chocolate snap.
