My Mother made these when I was growing up, especially at Christmas. They still remind me of the times we spent together in the kitchen during the holidays.
I have continued to make them for my own family through the years and they have become a favorite cookie for our Christmas Gift boxes.
I have continued to make them for my own family through the years and they have become a favorite cookie for our Christmas Gift boxes.
Sometimes, I make these with a recipe of homemade peanut butter cookie dough. To save time during the rush of the holidays, I prefer using refrigerated Pillsbury Peanut Butter Cookie dough.
I slice it into 24 cookies. Roll each slice into 1-inch balls, press a mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in the center of each and bake.
It is that easy!
Peanut Butter Cookies are a two ingredient recipe that looks fancy, yet so easy to make, and leaves me time to make many more Christmas treats without being stuck in the kitchen while everyone else is having fun.
