Not only is this Peanut Butter Cookie Cake sooooo good, but it’s for an incredible cause…
I’m excited to team up with friends to support Cookies for Kids’ Cancer and Dixie Crystals, Mediavine and OXO have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3,000 each! I’d love it if you would join us by donating here to advance the development of new, improved, and less toxic treatments for children battling cancer. Every dollar helps, especially when being matched by our brand partners!
The girls and I have decided that we prefer thick, chewy cookie cake over individual cookies. A pretty heart dish never hurts either! Not only is the consistency great, making each bite like the center of a cookie, but it’s a time saver, too since you’re not dropping cookies on multiple cookie sheets.
This Peanut Butter Cookie Cake is especially delicious with a few cracks of sea salt on top served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. In fact, that’s the secret to my incredible peanut butter cookie recipe…sea salt. If you’re a fan of sweet and salty, you can’t miss this step, it’s a game changer!

Notes
Thanks for sharing the recipe! It is looking like I will be trying these out today So do you not need to let the dough chill at all before baking? I feel like most chocolate chip cookie dough does need to chill but I have come across a couple recipes where it really doesn’t and is better without chilling
Not for cakes – cookies hold their shape better if they’re chilled. One of the many reasons I love it in cake form. Enjoy!
5 stars on this to – have you done it with icing on it thanks what frosting or icing can i do with it .
Yes! It goes really well with traditional buttercream – for a delicious twist you can brown the butter! Enjoy!
My children love Peanut Butter biscuits, and I am sure they will enjoy these too.
Thank you for a beautiful recipe for such a worthy cause!
Your Mediavine swag is on the way and should be to you soon. It’s just a small token of our appreciation for your time and efforts to wipe out pediatric cancer.
(Can’t wait to see you next week at the Mediavine Conference in California!)

Thank you for partnering for an incredible cause, see you soon!
Yummm I love peanut butter!
Where do you find those heart shaped pans for the cookie cakes?
You can find similar in my shop! The one used in this post has been discontinued. Enjoy!
Loving everything about this PB cookie cake! Those heart shape pans are way too cute for words. My girls will want to start baking this right after school today!
Thanks, Wanda! Isn’t baking with your kiddos the best?
I love peanut butter and I love cake. Going to have to make this for sure!
It’s a win win! Enjoy!
