We’re on a cookie rolllll! Am I the only one that’s BAMBOOZLED over the fact that the holidays are so soon week? I can’t. Grab a mug of supremely cozy hot cocoa and get baking! I’m knee deep in delish ginger cookies, healthier peanut butter blossoms, and knock your socks off monster cookies OH MY. But I can’t stop there! Now listen here. Peanut butter cookies have never been my favorite (unless they have chocolate). I adore peanut butter by itself, but when it comes to burying itself in cookies, I feel…meh. Today we’re adding peanut butter cups to the mix for double pb greatness and the result is fantastic!
How to make peanut butter cup cookies
This recipe come together in no time–it’s foolproof! They’re my hubby’s fave cookie.
Ingredients you’ll need
Compared to my ginger cookies that I used as inspiration for this recipe, those are definitely more chewy thanks to the molasses while these peanut butter cookies are more soft. So good!
Helpful tools
Silicone baking mat: reusable and makes for the easiest clean up. I make roasted vegetables, cookies, and more on this!Cookie sheet: because everyone needs a few.Cookie scoop: for easy cookie portioning. I use the scoop and then roll the dough into balls so they’re smooth.Hand mixer: less than $20 and my go-to appliance for mixing since I don’t have a stand mixer.Air tight container: my storage solution for just about everything.
Storage tips
These cookies will stay soft up for up to 4 days at room temperature in an air-tight container.
Can you freeze cookies?
For sure! Freeze in an even layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer baggie and freeze for up to 3 months. You can also freeze unbaked dough and bake from frozen. Just add two extra minutes to the baking time.
