You’ll love to give tins of these chocolate-coated cookies to your lucky friends. The shortcut holiday recipe is almost too simple to believe! Here's how to make peanut butter cookies without eggs. —Jackie Howell, Gordo, Alabama
Dipped Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies Recipe photo by Taste of Home
Spread peanut butter on half of the crackers; top with remaining crackers to make sandwiches. Refrigerate until firm.
In a double boiler over simmering water or in a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip sandwiches in chocolate mixture; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set.
Test Kitchen Tips
Because shortening melts at a higher temperature than butter, it’s useful for baking cookies that you want to have a nice uniform shape.
Dark chocolate not only tastes good, it’s good for you, too. It contains iron, fiber, antioxidants and even vitamin C. The higher the cacao content (cocoa bean solids, which may be listed as a percentage on the label), the higher the content of these components in the chocolate.

I'm interested in making these, but how do you dip without getting the chocolate on your fingers?

I grew up making these, not really a new recipe. Just use chocolate bark. Then no need for shortening. Much easier.

Cannot rate this as I have made them for years, but differently. I use chocolate almond bark, and they are delicious. I can't imagine that these aren't as well.

I make these often at Christmas. The only difference is that I have always used chocolate almond bark. They are easy

My mom makes these every year for Christmas. This cookie recipe is even slightly more complicated than her version - she doesn't use shortening and just melts the chocolate in the microwave. Either way, you get a quick and tasty dessert that's easy to transport and share! PLUS the peanut butter fills you up a bit more than just sugar cookies do.

My son turned me on to these cookies over the holidays. He had some at a friend's house and raved about them. He told me how they were made, but it seemed to simple - it just couldn't be that easy. Well, I was wrong! After looking on the internet, I found this recipe, which matched what he told me. After making them, I definitely know why he raved!! These are great!! I've made them several times since the holidays (and this is only March), and I'm making them again this weekend. YUM!
