Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine brownie mix, flour, oil, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each.
- Flatten each ball slightly to create a round disc.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Topping
- In a medium bowl, beat peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter until smooth.
- Roll into 1-inch balls, then flatten slightly.
- Place one peanut butter disc on each cooled brownie cookie, pressing gently.
Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Coating
- Combine chocolate chips and oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Spoon melted chocolate over each peanut butter-topped cookie, spreading to cover.
- Let chocolate set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm.
Step 4: Serve
- Once the chocolate has set, serve and enjoy!
Cook Notes & Tips
- Use a standard 18-20 oz box of brownie mix. Homemade mix works too!

- Refrigerate cookies to speed up chocolate setting.
Recipe Variations
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
- Substitute dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
