Last weekend my family was hungry for both cookies and ice cream. Since peanut butter is one of my family’s favorite things I decided to make peanut butter cookies. Then I remembered that a few weeks ago my Mother had given me some super cute stoneware baking bowls. I decided to bake the peanut butter cookies in them. Using pretty bowls and dishes always makes baking more fun!
Next, I whipped up the peanut butter cookie dough and divided it into two baking bowls. Easy Peasy! Finally, I baked the cookies until they were nice and golden brown.
Once the cookies cooled completely I added extra garnish. (This is where you can get totally creative!)
In my freezer, I have several flavors of gluten-free frozen yogurt. Therefore, I topped the cookies with several scoops of frozen chocolate peanut butter cup yogurt. Next, I added a generous dollop of whipped topping, chopped peanut butter cup candies, and a drizzle of Hersey’s dark chocolate syrup.
Finally, I was pleasantly surprised to see how deliciously appealing these chocolate peanut butter cup cookie bowls turned out. It would be fun to set up a “topping station” where people can select their very own favorite ice cream/yogurt and toppings, such as nuts, candies, marshmallows, caramel sauce, sprinkles, etc…
Because you can easily tweak the ingredients to be gluten-free and allergy friendly, (for those guests who have a food intolerance or food allergies), this would be a great dessert to serve at any party. No one ever needs to feel “left-out” of the fun.
