Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies
Cookie Dough
Mix:
- 1 cup of Peanut Butter
- 1 cup of Icing Sugar
- 1 cup of Chopped Dates
- 1 cup of Chopped Walnuts (I use Pecans because my sister can't eat walnuts.)
- 1 tablespoon of Butter, melted
Blend ingredients together. It is best (though messy) to use your hands. Roll dough into small balls.
Chocolate Coating
Melt together:
- 4 ounces of Semi-Sweet Chocolate
- 1 inch square of Paraffin Wax
- 2 Tablespoons of Butter
- 5 drops of Vanilla
Place on wax paper or rack to cool.
Makes: This recipes says it makes 36 cookies. I find these to be quite rich, so I usually roll the cookies into smaller balls, making 48 (which requires additional chocolate coating mixture), but Gramma made the individual cookies bigger, making about 24. So - it is your call!

Sounds yummy. Although I am usually a disaster in the kitchen, I think maybe I could manage these :)
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Mae! This recipe is very easy! I hope you enjoy them if you try it. :)
Cheers!
Ah, you had me until I read dates. Don't think I can get anyone to eat them at my house. Is there a good substitute for dates maybe?
Haha! I know the dates are little unusual, but this last time I bought the loose packed ones (which are softer) then cut them very very small. They don't change the taste much, but add a nice little texture. No one seems to notice the dates once they taste the cookie (and my family is picky). Umm... I've never tried a substitute, but, maybe you could try second kind of nut, the gluten free rice crispies, or chopped raisins?
