I’m so excited for day two of our 12 Days of Christmas Cookies… Double Loaded Peanut Butter Cup Cookies! These are soft peanut butter cookies with peanut butter cups baked into the top. They are some of the easiest cookies to make and taste delicious! The only trick to these guys is to not over cook them. I take them out right when they start to brown and I let them cook a little bit more on the tray before I move them to a cooling rack.

One more tip… always buy more peanut butter cups than you think you will need. They seem to disappear quickly.

These freeze really well and make excellent gifts… if there are any left. We tend to eat them too quickly to gift or freeze them!
