Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Line a large flat baking tray with parchment paper, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl add peanut butter, coconut sugar, desiccated coconut, and the egg.
With a wooden spoon, mix until well combined and it forms a soft cookie dough. You may want to use your hands for this step.
To form the cookies, pick up 1 tablespoon (25g) of dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten the ball out in the palm of your hands into a flat disc.
Place on the lined tray and repeat with the remaining dough. Leave a small gap between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges and the cookies peel away from the baking paper easily.
Cool on tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Keep the baking paper on the tray to use for when you dip them in the chocolate.
Melt chocolate chips over a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth.
Dip cooled cookies halfway into the melted chocolate and place them on the baking tray to set. Enjoy!

Natural crunchy peanut butter works best that contains only peanuts and salt, not conventional peanut butter.

Flattening these cookie balls into a disc is what allows these easy peanut butter cookies to turn crispy.

The chocolate is an optional addition.

Store in an airtight container, at room temperature for 1 week.
