One of the things I love about the holiday season is that I finally have the time to get into my kitchen and bake up a storm! Every time the season rolls around I will make & bake at least a dozen different types of holiday cookies!
Today I’m sharing a recipe with all of you courtesy of Coco Joy that I think you’re going to love!
Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
¼ cup Coco Joy Coconut Oil
2 Eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup Desiccated Coconut Flakes
2 tbsp. Brown Rice Flour
1 ½ cup Peanut Butter
1 tbsp. Coco Joy Coconut Milk
¼ tsp. Sea Salt
100g Dark Chocolate, cut into chunks
¾ cup Sugar
Preheat oven to 320 degrees Fahrenheit, and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
Combine Coco Joy Coconut Oil and coconut in a small frying pan over medium heat.
Cook, stirring often, until coconut is light golden brown. Set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, white sugar, coconut sugar, eggs, Coco Joy Coconut Milk, brown rice flour, and salt; stir until completely combined. Add coconut mixture, mix well.
Drop by tablespoon onto prepared baking sheet. Press a chunk of chocolate onto each cookie. Bake until cookies are golden on the bottom, 10-14 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

I like how this recipe is different from the usual peanut butter cookie by its use of coconut oil,milk and sugar as well as the brown rice flour. It is a more natural and healthy version.
This is a different recipe for me. I’ve never used some of the ingredients, but the cookies look good & I’d be willing to give it a try. I do love peanut butter!
I love Peanut Butter too Tamra! I’m allergic to tree nuts but I can have all of the peanuts that I want!
Yum! These cookies look delicious. Any time dark chocolate is involved I am definitely interested. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
This looks very different with the coconut oil and coconut flakes. My grandkids love coconut flavor so I have a feeling that they would enjoy these as I would. Like the addition of the dark chocolate in the middle – makes it looks so festive.
My Favorite Home Baked Cookies are Peanut Butter & Raisin Oatmeal … Your Peanut Butter cookie Recipe has more ingredients in them then mine. .Mainly the Coconut! Sounds delicious!! I will pin your recipe and I will make yours for the Holidays! Thankyou so much for sharing your recipe!
peanut butter cookies with the chocolate in the middle are my second favorite cookie (behind choc. chip cookies, of course) and these look like a step up from the ones i usually make, so i’ll save this recipe. thanks
