These irresistible chocolate peanut butter thumbprint cookies are perfect for the holidays or any day of the week! With a soft peanut butter base, a chocolate peanut butter filling and a touch of flaky sea salt for sprinkling, they’re vegan, dairy free and gluten free.

It’s time to bake! After a week of enjoying wholesome foods following Thanksgiving, holiday baking season is officially here. First on the list: salted chocolate peanut butter thumbprint cookies.
The name is a mouthful, but every element is essential.
Here’s what makes these cookies so good:
- A tender, peanut butter-forward cookie base that’s simple to make.
- A rich two-ingredient dark chocolate and peanut butter filling.
- A finishing sprinkle of flaky sea salt for contrast and sparkle.
Together they create bite-sized cookies that are dangerously easy to eat — tested thoroughly (purely for quality control, of course).
Even after I stopped baking them nonstop, my husband missed them — cookie withdrawal is real.
