First off, don’t forget to enter my Earth Day Giveaway!
Tonight I’m going to share one of my favorite baked goods with you all!
My mom made these Wonderful White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies a couple of weeks ago, and I’m still lusting after them.
Her inspiration came from Alexis Stewart’s blog, and the original recipe comes from Vanilla Sugar.
Little known fact about LHP and LHP Mom: When I was a child, LHP mom and I watched Martha Stewart Living together every week.
My mother is very Martha Stewart-esque. I’m still working on my domestic skills.
Really, I think the only reason I watched the show as a 9-year-old was because Martha had cats.
I remember that Martha liked to pretend as if her cats enjoyed having their teeth brushed.
Martha, you ain’t foolin’ nobody. No self-respecting cat likes having their teeth brushed. Not even your perfect little Persian. (Sorry, that video is terrible quality.)
But I digress. Let’s get back to these cookies.
Wonderful White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
(adapted from Vanilla Sugar)
Ingredients:
-
1 cup White Chocolate Wonderful Peanut Butter
-
1 cup turbinado sugar
-
1 egg
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
2 TBSP whole wheat pastry flour
-
1 tsp sea salt
-
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli)
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in small bowl.
-
In a separate bowl, combine peanut butter and sugar until well combined.
-
Beat egg, then add it to the peanut butter/sugar mixture.
-
Combine the flour/baking soda/salt mixture with the peanut butter/sugar mixture.
-
Cover bowl of the final dough mixture and cool in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
-
Remove dough from fridge and grease cookie sheet (I always use coconut oil).
-
Roll dough into TBSP sized balls and place on greased cookie sheet.
-
Make a small thumbprint well on the top of each cookie.
-
Bake cookies for about 3 minutes.
-
Remove from oven, place about 4 white chocolate chips in well.**
-
Bake cookies for about 7 more minutes.
-
Let cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before removing. (Cookies will not hold together until completely cooled!)
** Check out Vanilla Sugar’s blog for pictures of how the cookie’s well should look after baking. My mom’s cookies did not turn out quite as aesthetically pleasing. However, I’m not certain that white chocolate will pool like milk chocolate.
Pretty or not, these babies taste scrumptious!
(Sorry for poor picture quality. These were not taken with my usual camera.)

Goodnight ladies (and gents?)!

i bet these are TO DIE FOR! im eating WCW right now
fav cookie- PB cookies!
These sound awesome! Peanut butter and chocolate are a match made in heaven
That’s cute that you & your mom watched Martha Stewart! Did she really brush her cat’s teeth??
Maybe I’m thinking of the wrong domestic goddess, but isn’t Martha Stewart in prison!?
Hha, my cats like having baths, they’d probably enjoy having their teeth brushed too
Favourite cookie….peanut butter, without a doubt
Those cookies look amazing!!! I really love peanut butter cookies.
OMG. Lily you should have posted this recipe YESTERDAY on my day offfffff…now I want these…but I work…GAH!!!
lol…I love Martha.
Favorite cookie– regular old chocolate chip…although these look delicious!! Thanks for posting the recipe!
I want to adapt this recipe for my cinnamon peanut butter from Super Target!
My favorite cookie is just plain old sugar! Unless of course we are talking cookie cake and then only chocolate chip will do!
Holy yum! I must try this recipe with dark chocolate dreams! I’m not a white chocolate kind of girl
I can’t believe those cats are real- they are so cute! My fave cookie is chocolate chip- classic!

I’ve been thinking about experimenting with some white chocolate in the near future.
Thinking is a long process for me though…
