Copycat Levain Bakery Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

These Copycat Levain Bakery Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies are a decadent fudgy peanut butter filled cookie perfect for special occasions.

You guys. If you observe Lent and you gave up cookies or sweets, I am telling you that you NEED to make these Copycat Levain Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Cookies when Lent is over.

Usually when I am baking up treats, I can normally have one serving or bite and I’m done. Not with these. I ate four of these babies in one day. FOUR. Can you say bye bye Weight Watchers weekly Points! And just for the record these are 8 Weight Watchers points for each cookie. Ridonkulous.

I first tried the famous Levain cookies last year when I went to New York for a training for work. After seeing all the pics of their outrageous cookies on Instagram, I knew I needed to try them. I took a bite and gave my boss the rest because I knew if I kept them in my room, I would eat them all. So instead, he ate them all.

Once I saw that ModernHoney.com had made a copycat version of these outrageous cookies, I knew I needed to try it. While the originals were great and a hit with all my taste testers, my niece requested more chocolate flavor and I wanted more peanut butter flavor so off experimenting I went. I don’t even want to know how many I tried in the name of research.

The final cookie is a fudgy, gooey cookie full of flavor. Right out of the oven they are fall apart good but these will even keep in the freezer for a while. I hope you give them a try.

    […] I hope you make these cookies and if you do, don’t leave out the sea salt on top. It really helps to take them just over the top. The original cookies are huge cookies but I made these as normal size cookies so that more people can enjoy them. The recipe makes 39 cookies! I also recommend reheating them for about 10-15 seconds to make them gooey and all that chocolate is melty good.  If you want to try the other Levain copycat cookies, here is the recipe for Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies.
