Peanut Butter Brownie Gooey Butter Cookies
I had a hankering for something gooey and chocolaty yesterday. At first I thought brownies, but that didn't sound like it would hit the spot. Then I had another idea - gooey butter cake - but that didn't seem right either.
Living in Missouri the ultimate gooey dessert is St. Louis gooey butter cake, and of course since we moved to St. Louis just last summer, I've been well-acquainted with the sticky, tasty treat. Whenever I stroll through the grocery store - because that's how I grocery shop, no wild six year old running amuck through the aisles here. Ahem. Moving on. As I was saying, when on my leisurely grocery trips I always have to avoid the bakery section, namely the giant goody cabinet filled with gooey butter cookies, cakes, and all manner of pureevil deliciousness.
Then I thought, why not have a brownie AND gooey butter cake AND throw in some peanut butter, just to be safe. Then why not roll it all up into a cookie while I'm it?
That's how I got these babies. Peanut Butter Brownie Gooey Butter Cookies. I was inspired by Paula Deen's Gooey Butter Cookie recipe, since she is the queen of gooey butter cookies after all. She uses a cake mix, but I preferred to start with a brownie base from scratch.
These are just as you would expect them. Gooey, chocolaty, peanut-buttery - oh yeah, and really, really good.
Peanut Butter Brownie Gooey Butter Cookies
Yield: 18 Printable Recipe
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1 1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
8-oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup peanut butter
In a bowl combine the flour, cocoa, sugar, and salt. Set aside. In an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla and peanut butter and mix until creamy.
Add the flour mixture to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined. Cover and place in the refrigerator so the dough can firm up a little bit.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Remove dough from fridge and roll the chilled dough into tablespoon sized balls. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool completely. The cookies will stay soft and gooey on the inside. Yum!

I'm not a huge PB fan. I have to be in the mood. But somehow, with these, I think I could get in the mood fairly easily
Love the idea of cream cheese in a cookie. Look forward to trying.
Always looking for a new cookie recipe to try and then to send to daughter in college in her month care packages. She loves PB - this will rock with her!
