**DISCLAIMER**
For some reason these haven’t been very “lava-like” for some of you. I don’t know why, my peanut butter had lots of oil on the top and that may have had something to do with the outcome?! Hopefully, they’re still tasty enough to enjoy as peanut butter cookies, if for some reason they don’t ooze for you..lol. 🙂
I think the only thing better than Peanut Butter, is warm, ooey-gooey Peanut Butter. Like when you make Peanut Butter Toast and those liquidy puddles of Peanut Butter take your senses to a simple, yet, complex state of taste bud euphoria! 🙂 There’s almost nothing better!
Uhh…almost! Now imagine being able to grab all of that melty Peanut Butter greatness in the palm of your hand~anytime you want. Heck, grab one for each hand! These Peanut Butter Lava Cookies are buttery, flaky, sugary little gems that will totally explode upon lip-impact!
Grab a glass of Milk, you’ll need it!
What you’ll need for 14 Drippy Peanut Butter Cookies:
1 box of Pillsbury Pie Crust
Approx. 2 cups of Creamy peanut Butter…
1/2 cup Sugar
Directions:
Unroll the Pie Crust, and smear one of them with an even layer of Peanut Butter…
Put the other Pie Crust on top and cut out approx. 3″ cookies…
Give them a little toss in some sugar, and that classic Peanut Butter Cookie fork design…
Bake them on a parchment lined baking sheet at 350 for approx. 12 minutes, or until they’re slightly golden and firm.
Let them cool…
Thennn..toss them in, yep….more Sugar~
Check them out…
Maybe share a few..??
And grab a plate for you…
Find a private spot, and open up! ~Enjoy! 🙂
I just made a batch. Super yummy but my peanut butter didn’t melt either. Curious. I will give them another shot, and then another, and another. For science or something. Right?
Lol…it’s not getting too melty for a lot of people…so strange. Well. At least it’s still a peanut butter cookie. 🙂
Sounds like the peanut butter brand is critical. Can you share it or did you make your own?
I used regular store bought PB. Heat is the key, but they seize up fast.
What kind/brand of peanut butter did you use? Mine weren’t melty either, but that didn’t stop me from eating them. 🙂
I used regular PB like jif I think…however, I cut them super hot for the pic.
I used Jiff as well…cut them super hot too….My PB crumbled out and fell apart….very dry 🙁
When you say ‘real PB’ and then say ‘JIF’ that confuses me. REAL NATURAL PB ingredients are “peanuts and salt”. JIF contains ingredients to keep the oil from separating plus other ingredients including corn syrup. I haven’t baked this item but if I used MY ‘regular PB’, an unsalted organic PB, I’m pretty sure it would dry out during baking since the oil separates even at room temperature. I have to stir the jar every time I use it and by the time I’m at the bottom of the jar, it’s pretty dry peanut butter.
Can you use crunchy PB instead of smooth?
Sure. 🙂
Why not jelly on the second criust?
Since I would like for these to be runny when I serve them, and I know they are going to be cold, I think I am going to try mixing some honey with the peanut butter before spreading it on the pie crust. Maybe someone else would like to try this………….. Joyce
Great idea! 🙂
that was my idea! honey! I already love PB, honey and banana sandwiches.
anyone try honey yet?
Imma put chocolate chips in them as well…
These are delish with a dollop of strawberry jam on top, just like a PB&J!
they didn’t turn out 🙁 the crust got all crispy and was almost burning so i had to remove them. the pb didn’t melt inside at that point… i will definitely try again though, given the heavenly substance that is pb.
I notice you say to use creamy peanut butter? Can you use crunchy peanut butter?
A drizzle of melted dark chocolate over the peanut butter would be delicious.
I tried these. Major fail. Peanut butter oozed out while baking, I even pinched the edges together. The peanut butter that stayed inside was firm, not melted. I used name brand peanut butter. Plus, they did not taste as good as the pictures look.
So sorry to hear that.
agreed, mine were so tasteless…..I keep trying to see what I’ve done wrong
How much protein do you think each one would have?
My God… So simple! Ever since I was a kid I have absolutely loved melted peanut butter. You just made me insanely happy 😀
I love PB cookies in all forms and these are so tempting! Pinned!
Absolutely going to try this, saw it on Tumblr and instantly thought YUM! is there anything else you could use instead of pie crust?
What about melting the peanut butter chips? Has anyone tried this?
Major fail. I followed the recipe exactly and had just a gooey mess of peanut butter.
I was very disappointed with this recipe. Very dry and too much peanut butter. Will not make again.
