This is the perfect cookie for this time of year! The weather is fantastic and we are finally starting to feel the crispness in the air! And with the Fall season comes baking. And with baking comes cookies! Who loves cookie exchanges? I do because I get to experience so many different types of wonderful cookies! And these cookies are perfect for Halloween, Thanksgiving, the Fall season or a Christmas cookie exchange because they bring a variety of flavors!
These Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies are full of peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and have a dark chocolate taste because of the added cocoa powder. And they are gluten-free! Around Halloween time last year, I was on the hunt for a good fall season cookie and I found House of Nash Eats Dark Chocolate Halloween Chip Cookies and they instantly caught my eye! Her cookie was full of rich dark chocolate, double peanut butter with Reese’s pieces and peanut butter chips and had a double chocolate taste with the white chocolate chips and chocolate chips. So I was determined to make them. And I did…. except I changed it up a little bit. And they turned out perfect!
Since I’m gluten-free, I needed to make a gluten-free version of these Dark Chocolate Halloween Chip Cookies. So I switched out the regular flour and substituted it with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All-Purpose Baking Flour. I also used regular cocoa powder instead of the special dark cocoa powder. And I used regular chocolate chips instead of the Halloween baking chips. And guys, they turned out amazing!
Now, I can personally vouch for House of Nash Eats Dark Chocolate Halloween Chip Cookies because my son asked me to make a batch of hers while I made me and my daughter a batch of the gluten-free version of these chocolate peanut butter cookies. Even though I’m gluten-free, I had to do a taste test of the original recipe and it was amazing. Hers has the best dark chocolate taste! But my gluten-free version is more of a fall-time cookie since the chocolate and peanut butter chips meld so perfectly together! Typically, a gluten-free cookie with chocolate chips, Reese’s pieces, peanut butter chips and white chocolate chips would taste super sweet but not the version I created. Adding that pinch of salt makes all the difference in the world! You will get the perfect blend of chocolate and peanut butter in every bite of these incredible cookies!
These Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies are perfect for dipping in a tall glass of cold milk! That’s my daughter’s favorite way to eat these cookies! Personally, I like them with a hot cup of coffee! With all this talk about amazing cookies don’t forget about my Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (which are paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free), Boyfriend Cookies and my Quinoa Protein Bites, which are a lot like a cookie!
Everyone’s going to love these cookies! They’re so perfect for this time of year! Happy baking and Happy Eats Ya’ll! Recipes Inspired by: House of Nash Eats
