36 servings
- 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening
Instructions
- 1
Beat the peanut butter and softened butter together in a large bowl with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and fully combined, about 2 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract and salt.

Add the sifted powdered sugar one cup at a time, mixing on low after each addition, until the dough is thick, smooth, and holds its shape when pressed — it should feel like stiff cookie dough and not stick to your hands.
