Red Carpet-Worthy Rolls Royce Cookies (Snoop Dogg Recipe)

Bake Snoop Dogg’s viral Rolls Royce Cookies with a Hollywood twist! Decadent, rich, and perfect for a cozy night in with a good book.

Hollywood Meets the Kitchen

Hollywood has always been about indulgence, and sometimes that luxury extends right into the kitchen. In my Backstage Pass book series, readers get a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of celebrities—the glitz, the drama, and the secrets.

When I discovered Snoop Dogg’s now-viral “Rolls Royce Cookies,” I knew they belonged on my blog. These cookies are rich, decadent, and layered with flavor, worthy of their glamorous name. Think of them as the ultimate Hollywood treat—crispy edges, soft centers, and a star-quality taste.

The Story Behind the Cookies

The Rolls Royce Cookies shot to fame after appearing in Snoop Dogg’s cookbook From Crook to Cook. What sets them apart is one unexpected twist: a little peanut butter in the dough.

Don’t worry—this isn’t a peanut butter cookie in disguise. (I promise! Though, you do need to avoid them if you’re allergic to peanuts.) Instead, the peanut butter enhances the chocolate chip classic, making it richer, softer, and just a bit fancier…like swapping a sedan for a luxury ride. (Hey, this is Snoop Dogg, after all.)

A Hollywood Tie-In

I couldn’t help but imagine these cookies backstage at one of my fictional concerts in Backstage Pass. I can see one of the stars grabbing a cookie between film session and a red carpet interview, or a cameraman sneaking a few just before filming begins.

Just like my characters in this series, these cookies have layers: crisp, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth—each bite telling its own story.

Rolls Royce Cookie Ingredients (makes about 36 cookies)

If you jump down to the bottom of the post you’ll find a recipe card with all of the details. This is just a sneak peek. (Get it? Sneak peek? Like Hollywood flicks?!)

• 1½ cups (210 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 sticks (16 Tbsp, ≈220 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
• ½ cup (≈130 g) creamy peanut butter
• ½ cup (≈100 g) packed light brown sugar
• ½ cup (≈100 g) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups (≈360 g) semisweet chocolate chips or morsels

How to Make Rolls Royce Cookies

These come together so easily! I can see why they’re a fan favorite! Here’s how you’re going to make them. (Refer to the photos below for more details.)

1. Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Position one rack in the upper third and one in the lower third. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper
2. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt 
3. In a separate bowl, cream butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined 
5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips 
6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto sheets, spacing ~2 inches apart
7. Bake 8–10 minutes until golden. Halfway through, switch sheets from top to bottom and rotate front to back for even baking
8. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days

Baking Tips for the Spotlight

• Weigh your ingredients: Accuracy matters when you’re aiming for perfection.
• Try a sprinkle of flaky sea salt: It gives a Hollywood-worthy finish.
• Add your own twist: Peanut butter chips, dark chocolate chunks, or even a drizzle of ganache make these cookies paparazzi-ready.

What to Expect

Before I baked these, I thought, “Oh, this is going to be like my peanut butter cookies, but with chocolate chips thrown in.” I was wrong! Very, very wrong.

This is a rich chocolate chip cookie. The small amount of peanut butter just amps up the flavor of the chocolate and gives the cookies a lovely almost gooey texture.

Maybe I fell so in love with these because they were easy. (They are!) Or, maybe they held such appeal because I’m on a diet and I’m not supposed to be eating sugar. Regardless, I can say without any hesitation whatsoever that these are among the best cookies I’ve baked (and I’ve baked a lot of cookies over the years!)

Kat Jennings and Scott Murphy don’t just play two people who are secretly in love on a television sitcom–they are also head over heels for each other in real life. When the lines between reality and TV land blur, they hope they can keep their relationship under wraps. But when Kat’s grandmother, an aging Hollywood starlet with a penchant for wearing elaborate evening gowns from Golden Age movies, mistakes their on-screen wedding proposal for the real deal, things begin to spiral out of their control.

Will their secret be front-page news in the tabloids tomorrow? And can their budding romance survive the onslaught of paparazzi, wedding preparations, and misinformed in-laws? From the sound stage to a Beverly Hills mansion to the gleaming Pacific Ocean, Stars Collide takes readers on a roller-coaster tour of Tinseltown, packing both comedic punch and tender emotion.
