Bake a batch of these chewy coconut peanut butter cookies out for Santa and he’ll leave you all the gifts you want! Yes, they are THAT good!!!
Lately I’ve been on a peanut butter kick. I find myself making sandwiches when no one is around. Dip apple wedges directly in the jar as a late night snack.
The other day i was making a list with types of cookies i want to make for Christmas. Sugar cookies, chocolate, peppermint, mint. Different variations, pretty much the same flavor. Continuing to write down cookies ideas while dipping some apple in peanut butter, it got me wondering. Everyone will make sugar cookies or peppermint flavored for Santa. Why not make something new. Something I haven’t tried before. Like peanut butter cookies!
Peanut butter cookies for Santa sure sounds good to the Santa in my family. But I needed to put a twist on the classic ones. I didn’t want chocolate chips or jelly or even banana. Something new. Something I haven’t tried before.
A peak in my pantry and I knew what I will make. Coconut peanut butter cookies!
I had some coconut instant pudding and some Baker’s coconut flakes on hand from my last trip to Walmart. I knew I have to be very carefully using both pudding and flakes in my cookies, not to actually overpower the flavors. But I’m happy to say, they turn out just right (after my second attempt).
I now know these will be the perfect cookies to leave out for Santa. Make sure you leave out with a cup of hot chocolate some Cool Whip or Jet-puffed marshmallows (depending on your Santa’s taste buds).

Cookies for Santa – you are so cute! 🙂
Coconut and peanut butter are two of my favorite things. Never have I had them together in a cookie. These sound and look delicious. I am sure Santa would be happy to have a few waiting for him.
Definitely gonna be a treat for all peanut lovers…….
Chewy peanut butter cookies are the best.
Mmm I love coconut and peanut butter cookies but never thought about putting the two together!
I bet these cookies are a hit they sound really tasty and our Santa would love them.
Mmmmmm…I love a chewy PB cookie. And with coconut? Yum!!
Yum! I could really use one of these cookies with my cup of morning coffee! #client

Might want to “add” that to your recipe. 🙂
Probably making them tomorrow.
