Ingredients
  

1 package Ritz crackers (about 35 crackers)

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup white chocolate chips

2 tablespoons coconut oil (or vegetable shortening)

Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ritz Crackers: Lay half of the Ritz crackers (about 17) face up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. These will be your cookie bases.

    Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a medium bowl, use a spatula to mix the creamy peanut butter until it's smooth and easy to spread. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a tablespoon of powdered sugar to the mixture and stir until combined.

      Assemble the Cookies: Using a spoon or knife, spread about one tablespoon of peanut butter on each Ritz cracker on the baking sheet. Top each with another Ritz cracker to create a sandwich.

        Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.

          Coat the Cookies: Dip each Ritz cracker sandwich into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they're coated evenly. Use a fork to allow excess chocolate to drip off and carefully place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

            Add Sea Salt (optional): If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each coated cookie to enhance flavor contrast.

              Chill the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the white chocolate is set.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve the cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature, where they will stay fresh for several days.
