Christmas brings out the inner baker in everyone, even if you normally don’t bake! But we have so many things to get done for the holidays that it’s hard to follow through on all of our baking intentions. That’s where these 2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cup Christmas Cookies come in! They are semi-homemade, super easy to make, and they are festive and delicious!
You just can’t go wrong with these cute little Christmas cookies. They will compliment any Christmas gathering or party tray. And, they turn into Gnome Cookie Cups, too! These Almond Bark Clusters, Candy Bar Pretzel Bites, and Rolo Pretzel Turtles are easy to make, too!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 package (24 count) Ready-to-Bake Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Squares
- 24 Mini-Reese’s Cups, Unwrapped
- Red & Green Sanding Sugar
- Christmas Sprinkles
How to Make 2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cup Christmas Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 24-count mini-muffin pan with non-stick spray.
- One at a time, roll each Ready-to-Bake Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Square into a ball. Rotate rolling into red and green sanding sugar, or Christmas sprinkles, and place into each mini-muffin spot.
- Bake for 12 minutes.
- In the meantime, unwrap 24 mini-Reese’s cups and set aside.
- Remove the pan from the oven and immediately press unwrapped Reese’s down into the center of the cookie.
- Let cool before removing from the pan.
Recipe Notes:
- Pan – I use a 24 cup non-stick mini muffin pan, works like a charm! You could also use two 12 cup non-stick mini muffin pans.
- Sprinkles – Sanding sugar and nonpareils work best.
- Non-Stick Spray – Even if you are using a non-stick pan, I recommend spraying it. It helps you easily remove them. They should easily come out just by pulling up on them with your fingers. If you skip non-stick spray you might have to use a knife to pop them loose and that leaves an indent in the side of the cookie.
