Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

This is a peanut butter lovers dream come true! Especially if you are a peanut butter and chocolate lover! 

My brother is one of those people! He always requests these from my mom and my mom always delivers! They have become a favorite of my boys too! And I always love making these with my kids because they sit and unwrap them so I don’t have to do them all by myself! 

Here are some of my other favorite peanut butter cookies:

• peanut butter kiss cookies
• peanut butter cookies
• butterfinger peanut butter cookies
• peanut butter s’mores bars 

Peanut butter cookies always turn out amazing and everyone loves them. These are the perfect spin off from the Hershey’s kiss cookies and add more peanut butter flavor! Cookies are great to make with your kids and can actually be a very big help especially when it comes to these. The wrappers are always a pain to take off and my kids are always volunteering to do it for me. Not to mention these are also very easy to make and only take about 10 minutes to bake! Try them out and make them a new family holiday tradition!
