Salted Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies

1: Preheat oven to 190°C | 375°F.

2: Prepare two baking trays with parchment/baking paper and set aside.

3: Combine peanut butter, sweetener (or sugar), egg, and vanilla in a medium-sized bowl and mix well.

4: Scoop out 1 tablespoon of cookie dough per cookie, roll into a ball, and flatten with the palm of your hand (or use the end of a fork).

5: Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden.

6: Remove and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

7: While the cookies are cooling, melt chocolate and butter (or shortening) together, mixing until smooth.

8: Dip each cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

9: Place onto waxed paper, sprinkle with salt flakes, and allow to set.
