I will admit, I am prone to exaggeration. Although I’ve gotten better, I still LOVE exclamation points and use a lot of them. I probably call a lot of things “the best” even when they’re not, and it’s only because I get really, really excited, especially when it comes to food. I already wrote a post called Six of the Best Peanut Butter Recipes, but if you were looking for the BEST best peanut butter recipe, then look no further. You’ve found The Foodie Chef’s peanut butter cookies with chocolate ganache. Stop trying to find something better. You won’t.

My friend Morgan, The Foodie Chef, is both a personal chef and a blogger, and if you’re hungry right now, I do not suggest reading her blog or looking at her Instagram feed… just kidding, you’ll want to do both of those things immediately so you can eat with your eyes.

I really have a soft spot in my heart for peanut butter. I eat it pretty much every day, and I’m even happy with a spoon and a jar. But nothing comes close to these cookies. Chocolate is never at the top of my list, unless it’s with peanut butter, in which case get out of the way. The soft, fluffy ganache is the perfect complement to these perfectly chewy peanut butter cookies, and they’re both adult and kid-friendly. They’re pretty enough to serve your adult friends but delicious and simple enough that your kids will be begging for them. Try making them this weekend! Scroll down for detailed recipes.
