Want to make some Christmas cookies this week but just don't have the energy or time? Then make the easiest Christmas cookies ever that uses just two ingredients - Peanut Butter Cup Cookies!
I love making Christmas cookies but will admit this year I am pairing down my normal amount to just our favorites, and our youngest daughter requested I make these Peanut Butter Cup Cookies! I started making these cookies really just as a filler for cookie trays that I'd give out to neighbors, but they are so easy to make and take so little time, they've become a staple for our family every holiday season.
Sometimes you just need something simple and easy this time of year, and these cookies are just that! All you need is some refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough, a bag of miniature peanut butter cups, a mini muffin pan and you're set! I like to buy 16oz Pillsbury Peanut Butter Cookie Dough with "12 big cookies", that way I can simply cut each preformed cookie in half to fill my 24 mini muffin cup tin. And one regular 9.9oz bag of miniature Reese's peanut butter cups will give you enough to top each cookie, plus have a few extras to munch on.
My biggest tip for making these Peanut Butter Cup Cookies is to liberally coat your muffin tin with cooking spray so the cookies are easy to take out. I use a spoon to help remove them after they are completely cooled.
Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
24 miniature peanut butter cups
Take a 24 mini muffin tin and liberally coat with cooking spray. Then take your refrigerated cookie dough and cut each "big cookie" in half creating 24 cookies. Roll each piece of cookie dough and lightly press one in each cup of the mini muffin pan. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, until just set.
Meanwhile, unwrap 24 miniature peanut butter cups so when the cookies come out of the oven, and the dough is still warm, you can push a peanut butter cup chocolate into each cookie cup. Let the cookies completely cool before using a spoon to help remove them and enjoy!
How easy was that? Who doesn't love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate? And when you can make, bake and eat these cookies in less than an hour, you really can't go wrong!

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a delightful treat! I can see why that's a popular method. However, I wonder if melting the peanut butter cups slightly before pressing them in might create an even gooier, more integrated experience? It could potentially be messier for younger helpers though, something to consider if kids are involved, hmmm, almost like... bad parenting
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun and simple cookie recipe for the holidays! I tried a similar idea from a holiday baking blog last year, and it was a huge hit with my family. Can’t wait to try your version for this Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThese Christmas cookies look incredibly simple and festive! I love recipes that are quick to make but still bring all the holiday cheer.

I had one of those evenings where you open your browser to do one thing and somehow end up somewhere completely different. While sorting through old bookmarks, I found a forum note someone left recommending Crown Sydney Casino Online . With nothing better to do, I tried a few rounds and ended up staying longer than planned. The pacing felt comfortable, and after experimenting with some old strategies, I actually came out ahead. Not a huge win, but enough to put me in a surprisingly good mood for the night.

I've always struggled with managing multiple deadlines, so I eventually turned to Native Assignment Help just to survive the workload. I didn t expect it to make such a huge difference, but it honestly did. They helped me get my workload under control and, for the first time, actually understand what each assignment was asking for. Later, when my coursework started getting tougher, I decided to try a zara supply chain management case study solution, which made things so much easier by breaking down how Zara coordinates sourcing, inventory flow, logistics, and responsiveness to demand, and it honestly became a complete lifesaver.
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look so easy! Have you ever tried swapping the peanut butter cups for something else? I once used mini Rolos and they were delicious, adding a nice caramel flavor.
ReplyDeleteWould you recommend this recipe for people who love five nights at freddy's ?
Yummy and super easy recipe — perfect for busy holiday baking! I love how simple ingredients can still make such festive and delicious cookies. Definitely a great treat to try with family during Christmas.

It's funny you mention ease of use! It reminds me of the game Drive Mad. Simple concept, but surprisingly addictive. It's great when platforms (or games!) are straightforward and let you jump right in. The bonus stuff is always a nice perk too, letting you experiment without feeling too pressured. Good to know there's another option out there!
ReplyDeleteOh, I totally get that! Fnaf is a perfect example. It's so easy to pick up, even with the jump scares! That straightforward gameplay is what makes it so replayable. And those extra modes or challenges? Always a fun surprise without making the core game feel overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks perfect for the holiday season! I love how simple the ingredients and steps are, making it easy for anyone to bake something festive without spending hours in the kitchen. Sometimes the best recipes are the ones that keep things simple and enjoyable. That same idea applies to problem-solving too—tools like a Letter Boxed Solver help simplify challenging word puzzles and make them more accessible for people who enjoy finding creative solutions. Great recipe and beautiful presentation!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks perfect for the holiday season! I love how simple and approachable it is. Sometimes the most enjoyable activities are the ones that keep things simple, whether it's baking or solving word puzzles. I've been using [url=https://gameletterboxed.com/letter-boxed-solver/]Letter Boxed Solver[/url] recently and enjoy how it encourages creative word connections.
ReplyDeleteOh, these sound amazing! I'm definitely in the "low energy, low time" camp this year, so a two-ingredient cookie recipe is music to my ears. I totally get wanting to pare things down. Sometimes you just need something quick and satisfying, like a quick round of Agario to clear your head. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteFnaf still gives me chills! I remember staying up late playing the first game, genuinely terrified. The lore just kept getting deeper and more twisted with each installment. It's awesome seeing the community still thriving. But seriously, is Fnaf still worth playing in 2026? What's everyone's favorite game in the series?
ReplyDeleteOkay, two-ingredient cookies? You've officially piqued my interest. I totally get the "pairing down" sentiment this year – sometimes you just need something super straightforward. The idea of cutting the preformed dough in half for mini muffin tins is genius. I always end up with a few extra Reese's too, which, let's be honest, is half the fun. This reminds me of how even in horror games, sometimes the simplest jump scares are the most effective. No need for complex mechanics when a good idea does the trick!
ReplyDeleteThis repo is exactly what I needed after my last Warzone match! The chaotic energy of respawns in that game always cracks me up. I swear, the way everyone just piles back into the same spot is pure comedy. Is repo still worth playing in 2026 for that kind of instant, no-consequences fun? What's your go-to for a quick, silly gaming session? 😂
ReplyDeleteOh man, this article totally brought me back to my papa's pizzeria days! You hit the nail on the head about the "filler" aspect. I used to pick up that game just to chill, but then I'd get so obsessed with juggling all the orders, trying to make the perfect pizza. It's crazy how much those simple time-management games can hook you! Remember trying to get those super picky customers just right? So stressful, but in a fun way. Good times!
