The creative geniuses responsible for the scrumptious peanut butter flavors offered by Peanut Butter & Co. have my undying admiration and affection. Dark Chocolate Dreams. Mighty Maple. The Bee’s Knees. Cinnamon Raisin Swirl. Although all of the varieties are decadent, sweet, and downright delicious, my favorite pick from the peanut butter pantry is White Chocolate Wonderful. I know there are some who dislike white chocolate – either because of its intense sweetness or because it isn’t technically chocolate – but I am a shameless fan of the creamy confection. Combine luscious white chocolate with rich peanut butter and I go weak at the knees…
Make cookies featuring the exquisite flavor combination and I swoon.
These cookies have just enough white chocolate flavor to keep from being cloyingly sweet. Peanut butter contributes a slight crispness to the outside of the cookies, but they are soft enough to practically melt in your mouth.
I’m afraid these two-bite treats aren’t destined to last very long in our kitchen…
Flourless White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
yields 10-12 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Peanut Butter & Co. White Chocolate Wonderful creamy peanut butter (or other creamy peanut butter – see note*)
- 2 Tbsp Sucanat or brown sugar
- 1 egg white, lightly whisked
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-natural white chocolate chips (such as Sunspire)
*Note: The white chocolate peanut butter I used is quite sweet; therefore, if you are using regular ol’ creamy peanut butter, you might want to increase the amount of granulated sweetener to 1/4 cup (or more to suit your palate).
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter through vanilla extract.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Using a mini ice cream scoop, spoon batter onto prepared baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees F until the cookies are lightly golden brown, but still soft, about 10-12 minutes.
- Let cool for about 5 minutes on baking sheet, then cool completely on a wire rack.
ooh, i used to love white chocolate as a kid, then didn’t like it for awhile. Now I love good white chocolate (green & blacks makes me swoon!), but haven’t tried the sunspire chips. I don’t know that I’ve tried the white choc-pb combo… might have to do it :)
These cookies look so yummy! I also love white chocolate, and have never thought to put it into a peanut butter cookie. GREAT IDEA!
These look incredible! White chocolate and peanut butter….yum!
these look amazing! i loved white chocolate macadamia peperidge farms cookies as a kid so i’m sure i’d love these! they don’t seem too unhealthy either!
Ohhhh YUM!!! White Chocolate Wonderful is my fave PB & Co. flavor too, but I never thought to put it in cookies. Probably the best idea ever!!
Lauren, these look fantastic. I love white chocolate as well – only high quality kind though, otherwise it does taste way too sweet and fake. I think I want to try these cookies with my “chocolate dreams pb” (it’s too sweet for me to eat).
Wow, these look fantastic! Thanks for posting, can’t wait to try’em!

Hello, I just tried these out today and since these were my first flourless cookies ever, I was doubtful, but they were amazing! My mom, an ardent lover of peanut butter, loved them! :)
I used Trader Joe’s Valencia flax seed peanut butter with nuts in them and also added in about 1/4 cup old fashioned oats!
