Boy, do I have a treat for you today.
stack of fudgy peanut butter dooziesPeanut butter + Chocolate OVERLOAD, in the form of Double Doozies.

If you happen to be unfamiliar with Double Doozies (as I was before meeting my husband), they are basically cookie sandwiches, composed of two cookies with a thick layer of frosting in the middle. In other words, it’s a sugar coma just waiting to happen.

And while this is probably the most decadent thing to come out of my kitchen in a while, my version is still grain-free and naturally sweetened–> meaning you should be able to enjoy these nutrient-dense treats without suffering from crazy spikes in your blood sugar later.

Unless, of course, you gorge yourself on them. Then you’ll still wind up in a coma on the couch. Consider yourself warned.

1 batch Peanut Butter Fudge Frosting (recipe below)

Directions:

Assemble 8 of your cooled cookies onto a plate, bottom-side facing up, and spread a thick layer of frosting onto each cookie. Create “sandwiches” with the remaining 8 cookies, then serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for a more solid treat!

In fact, it turns into a creamy fudge when frozen on its own!

However you serve it, I hope it’s a hit in your home, too!

As usual, this recipe can easily be adjusted to suit your personal tastes. Not a peanut butter fan? Try almond butter instead! Vegans can easily substitute agave or maple syrup for the honey, and use flax eggs in the cookies. (This keeps them properly combined, to boot!) And if you’re trying to stay sugar-free, I’m sure stevia could be used instead, with a little experimenting.

Happy baking!

  1. I made these last night and wow were they good! I forgot to add the bit of water and used maple syrup instead for the frosting, thanks for two great recipes in one.

  2. Thank you for this fantastic, healthy & scrumptious frosting recipe! I made your Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies without the chips but added an extra egg and cocoa powder to make a chocolate pb cake & this frosting was the perfect topping!! I look forward to trying the frosting on other treats and as a fudge, as you suggest!
