Peanut-Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, Paris Style are like PB cookies at fashion week. (BTW, what’s with hyphenating peanut butter in the title…shouldn’t that hyphen go elsewhere? Maybe “Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Cookies, Paris-Style” would be better.) All the stuff that would normally be within a dough is on full display on the outside of these cookies. The cookie itself is made from a more or less blank slate chewy PB dough, but the dough balls get rolled in chopped nuts before baking, and after baking, they are smeared and sprinkled with all kinds of good things. There’s homemade peanut praline spread gluing down more chopped peanuts and chocolate bits. Peanut praline dust and fleur de sel are sprinkled all over the the place. Even though making peanut praline sounds like a pain, it’s easier to do than true brittle, and makes these very special. Dorie turns hers into large cookies, but I made mine a bit more petite, at about 2.5 tablespoons each. Everyone I shared these with liked them, and I did, too, although they were a little messier to eat than a cookie that wasn’t turned inside-out.

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it every second and fourth Tuesdays. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll!

These cookies were delicious but the bang for buck versus effort means I probably won’t make them again.
