Holycraptheseareamazing Cookies Revisited: Peanut Butter Bliss
...When I first posted about these mind-numbingly delicious, crispy, creamy little balls of peanut butter perfection it caused quite a stir. Even though that was several months ago, I'm still feeling ripples from the shock waves these little guys caused around the blogosphere. I was thrilled by the enthusiastic reaction they received, though I really wasn't too surprised. After all, what's not to love about a ridiculously simple and decadently rich peanut butter cookie that you don't even have to bake? So, when I read about The Peanut Butter Boy's new event, The Great Peanut Butter Exhibition #1 - Cookies, I knew that I had to share this recipe again.
...
The Great Peanut Butter Exhibition is a joint effort of The Peanut Butter Boy in conjunction with The Chocolate Peanut Butter Gallery and Foodaphilia, to present the latest and greatest in peanut butter blogging. They plan to choose a new peanut buttery theme each month. I think it's a terrific idea and I look forward to "spreading" more peanut butter love around in future events as well.
...
...Holycraptheseareamazing Cookies require only four ingredients. They are basically thrown together in a saucepan, dropped on a cookie sheet and cooled. You can literally be eating these little blobs of bliss in less than twenty minutes.
...
I've chosen to add a drizzle of dark chocolate over the cookies, mostly to make the pictures look prettier, but that's not part of the original recipe. I happen to think the chocolate is the yin to peanut butter's yang. If you're a purist, by all means, omit the chocolate. The cookies are just as scrumptious without it.

When cooled, eat these cookies with reckless abandon. Be careful, though. We wouldn't want anyone to get hurt!

I hope that you give them a try. I must warn you that they are pretty addictive.
Amy- I like your style! I'll have to remember that one. ;)
Gretchen- What exactly was the problem? What kind of corn syrup and peanut butter did you use? Did you make sure that the sugar and corn syrup came to a full boil? Let me know. This recipe is pretty foolproof, so I'd really like to help you figure it out.
Patsy- Uh oh! I'll be over to check it out.
Katerina- Thank you! Peanut butter is a beautiful thing! ;)
Marie- :o
Seriously, they look really great, and they're well photographed :)
Anythingwithjust5ingredientsthatresultinadessertlikethisisakeeper!Thanks!
BTW-Seewhatyadidtome?
Didn't think so.
I like the chocolate drizzle. A half cup of milk chocolate chips melted in with the peanut butter is tasty as well.
Hehehe - thanks for the great recipe and the great laugh. Awesome!
SGF- I'd love to know how the gluten free version turns out. My nephews would love these!
Tracy- Chocolate? That might just push me right over the edge! :O
It's funny to see how recipe's recirculate.
