Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Jump to Recipe

I wanted to share one my must make Christmas Cookie recipes with you. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies. It just isn’t quite Christmas without these. I’ve been making them for probably 15 years and they are hands down one of the best cookies I’ve ever had. The base of the cookies is made with cocoa and peanut butter, and to that peanut butter cups, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips are added. So much deliciousness going on.

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Any cookie that starts off like this has to be good!

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

I have a pretty serious love of peanut butter and chocolate. I mean, they are like perfect baking BFFs. If you feel the same way, you do not want to miss this round up of over 50 peanut butter and chocolate recipes. Warning, drooling is involved and it’s probably best to just trade the skinny jeans for yoga pants before we go any further (as if I wasn’t already in my yoga pants).

Chocolate And Peanut Butter RecipesOh good, you are still here. That peanut butter and chocolate recipe round up has a way of distracting people. Okay, so cookies. Let’s do this.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Recipe

These are really easy cookies. A few tips. When I measure peanut butter in a measuring cup, I always give the cup a light spray of cooking oil first so that the peanut butter doesn’t try to bond with the measuring cup. Also, I freeze my peanut butter cups before cutting them. When it’s not summer in Phoenix it’s probably not a big deal, but I prefer cutting frozen peanut butter cups to smooshing half melted ones.

Other Favorite Peanut Butter And Chocolate Recipes

I recently also made a white chocolate version of these cookies. It’s very different yet very similar. I think white chocolate and peanut butter are their own special kind of magic.
