Directions
Yield: Makes 24 Balls
Make And Chill Dough
- Mix peanut butter with butter, salt, vanilla and icing sugar in large bowl until smooth.
- Scrape mixture onto sheet of plastic wrap and cover. Press into disc and refrigerate until firm, 3 hours or overnight.
Create Balls
- Roll mixture into 1″-diam. balls, dusting hands with icing sugar to help prevent mixture from sticking.
- Transfer to parchment paper-lined plate and chill 1 hour or until firm.
Finish Cookies
- Melt chocolate with coconut oil in saucepan over low heat until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Using a toothpick, pick up peanut butter ball and dip into melted chocolate, covering 2⁄3 of ball. Lift from chocolate and allow excess to run off. Place back on parchment paper. Smooth top of ball to cover toothpick hole. Repeat with remaining balls. Refrigerate until set, 1 hour. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
