Ingredients 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Blossoms

  • 50 g unsalted butter (3 ½ tbsp.)
  • 24 g dark cocoa powder (¼ c.)
  • 60 g creamy peanut butter (¼ c.)
  • 90 g dark brown sugar (¼ c. + 3 tbsp.)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp. vanilla
  • 90 g all purpose flour (¾ c.)
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. salt

Coating

  • 50 g granulated sugar (¼ c.)

Spider Topping

  • 24 whoppers
  • 55 g semi-sweet chocolate chips (⅓ c.)
  • ½ tsp. vegetable oil

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl. Immediately whisk the cocoa powder, followed by the peanut butter. Whisk until the peanut butter has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Add in the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add in the flour, baking soda and salt. Fold the mixture together just until no more flour streaks remain.
  • Use a 1.5 tbsp. cookie scoop to dish out the dough, then roll each cookie in the granulated sugar.*
  • Evenly space out the coated scoops of the cookie dough on the cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes. Make sure you have the whoppers out and ready for when the cookies are done baking.
  • IMMEDIATELY after the cookies come out of the oven, press two whoppers into the center of each one. Once all the cookies have been topped, place them in the fridge to chill for 10-15 minutes or until the cookies and chocolate are no longer warm.
  • Melt the chocolate and vegetable oil in the microwave in 30 second intervals, until smooth. Transfer the chocolate to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
  • Starting from the middle of the two whoppers, pipe four chocolate legs on to each side to create the spider.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*If you'd like to keep the cookies uniform after rolling, you can press them back into the cookie scoop! That's just a little hack I like to use.
