When I first posted about these mind-numbingly delicious, crispy, creamy little balls of peanut butter perfection it caused quite a stir. Even though that was several months ago, I’m still feeling ripples from the shock waves these little guys caused around the blogosphere. I was thrilled by the enthusiastic reaction they received, though I really wasn’t too surprised. After all, what’s not to love about a ridiculously simple and decadently rich peanut butter cookie that you don’t even have to bake? So, when I read about The Peanut Butter Boy’s new event, The Great Peanut Butter Exhibition #1 - Cookies, I knew that I had to share this recipe again.

The Great Peanut Butter Exhibition is a joint effort of The Peanut Butter Boy in conjunction with The Chocolate Peanut Butter Gallery and Foodaphilia, to present the latest and greatest in peanut butter blogging. They plan to choose a new peanut buttery theme each month. I think it’s a terrific idea and I look forward to “spreading” more peanut butter love around in future events as well.

Holycraptheseareamazing Cookies require only four ingredients. They are basically thrown together in a saucepan, dropped on a cookie sheet and cooled. You can literally be eating these little blobs of bliss in less than twenty minutes.

I’ve chosen to add a drizzle of dark chocolate over the cookies, mostly to make the pictures look prettier, but that’s not part of the original recipe. I happen to think the chocolate is the yin to peanut butter’s yang. If you’re a purist, by all means, omit the chocolate. The cookies are just as scrumptious without it.
