My friend Amy and I met for dinner recently at BJ’s Brewhouse after one of my son’s football scrimmages. I had never eaten at BJ’s, so before we ordered our food Amy said that I had to save room for dessert. We decided to get the Pizookie Trio and the Peanut Butter Pizookie was our absolute favorite choice. It was warm and gooey peanut butter perfection. I had to come home to try and recreate it in my own kitchen. Chocolate lava cakes are my specialty – warm and gooey, individual chocolate cakes. And now I can add a peanut butter lovers version to my collection with this recipe.

How to make peanut butter cookie cake:

  • Beat together the butter, sugars, peanut butter, eggs and vanilla with a hand or stand mixer
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl
  • Combine the two together and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula
  • Add in chopped peanuts if you’d like
  • Spread the dough into individual baking dishes and bake until just set in the center – under baking these cookie cakes a bit is actually preferred
  • Top the cakes with a swirl of peanut butter, ice cream and/or chocolate sauce and serve warm

Kitchen Tips:

  • These are the ramekins I used to bake these peanut butter cookie cakes
  • Oven temperatures can vary wildly – your oven may take more or less time to bake these cakes than the time I am suggesting
  • You can make the dough up to one day ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake
  • If you are baking the dough directly from being refrigerated, add about five minutes to the baking time
