Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Feel free to use crunchy peanut butter if you like a little texture.
  • Sprinkle a bit of flaky sea salt over the top of the ganache for a gourmet finish.
  • Chill the cookies for twenty minutes if you want the peanut butter layer to set up more firmly before adding the ganache.
