Peanut Butter Cup Blossom Cookies

December 4, 2012 by Roxana 15 Comments

Today’s Cookies are brought to you by Erin of Dinners, Dishes and Dessert. I have known Erin for about a year now and she always amazes me with her creativity. A quick look at her blog and you’ll get hungry instantly. From appetizers to main dishes and lots of desserts, she got you covered. Take a look at these pretzel rolls or maybe you’re in the mood for some s’mores brownie cookies (hello sweet tooth!)

Peanut-Butter-Cup-Blossom-Cookies
Hi!  I’m Erin and I write over at Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts.  I excited to be here today.  Roxana is a great friend who is always there to help, and has such great ideas.  Today I am here to share a cookie recipe for Christmas.  Can you believe Christmas is almost here?  I can not believe how quickly this year has gone!

Peanut-Butter-Cup-Blossom-Cookies
One of my favorite Christmas cookies is Peanut Butter Blossoms.  You know, the peanut butter cookies with the Hershey kisses on top.  Well, I decided to take those to the next level this year.  Why not top them with a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup?  Talk about peanut butter and chocolate heaven!  Which in case you don’t know me, is one of my favorite combinations.
I think I found a new favorite cookie!  These were absolutely over the top.  It was really hard to wait until they were cooled before I ate one.  The melty chocolate just looked so good.  And it was.  Trust me, these need to become a part of your holiday traditions this year!

    These cookies look mouthwatering, but I don't think it's safe for me to make them. Why? Cause I'd eat them all up within a few days by myself. Seriously! Reeses Peanut Butter Cups are my weakness! ::fans self:: Props to you, though.

    Seriously, all the gorgeous goodies you guys are baking are really making me fall off my "diet wagon!" Peanut butter cookies are worth jumping out for - it's one of my weaknesses!
