After making these turkey cookies for Thanksgiving, I couldn't wait to use the white chocolate peanut butter cups for some Christmas cookies.
White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Christmas Cookies!
Visions of the *cutest* Santa cookies danced in my head for weeks. I was SO excited to make them.
Except, they were totally creepy. Mr. E actually took one look at them and started laughing.
Wanna see?!?
I was determined, though, so I came up with second best...carolers, red-nosed reindeer, and ornaments.
The cookie base is a white chocolate peanut butter cookie. Buttercream is used for the decorating, and for attaching the peanut butter cup.
{psst...you can find white chocolate peanut butter cups on occasion in stores, OR you can order them by the case *ahem* from Hershey's or Amazon (gotta love free 2-day Prime shipping for such emergencies.)} ;)
You'll also need to spend about 20 minutes of your life digging through a bag of peanut butter M&Ms separating out the red ones. What you do with those other colors is your business.
White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Christmas Cookies...you can find the recipe and assembly instructions at Imperial Sugar.
Welcome to Bake at 350! I'm Bridget and I like all things sweet...especially cookie decorating. I hope you'll find some inspiration here. So, grab a chair (and a cookie) and let's get baking! [
Peanut butter. White chocolate. My idea of perfection! So adorable & pinned!
ReplyDeleteOh so darling! The Santas did make me giggle too. But I still think they're cute :)
ReplyDeleteOh so cute!! My younger sister (she is 5 and obsessed with cute Christmas cookies) and I are doing an after school ginger bread house/cookie making day on friday and these have to get made. Love them!
ReplyDeleteI love what you came up with! They're all adorable!
ReplyDeleteThey're so pretty with the red nose, and the first version is indeed quite funny. Great idea!

These are cute and I like the earmuffs on the carolers. You have more patience than I do. After the Santa's were *laughed* at I would have just tossed and walked :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute and I adore the combo of peanut butter and white chocolate!
ReplyDeleteAll of them are adorable! I love the piped beard and hair on the left Santa. I'm picturing it on a flat Santa cookie with sanding sugar to make the hat look fuzzy. Love the Rudolphs and carolers, though. Your creativity always amazes me.
ReplyDeleteHA! Love those faces on the carolers!
ReplyDeleteThe good thing about cookies that come out creepy is hubby gets to eat them without waiting for the photo session! :) Rudolph is adorable!!
ReplyDeleteWhite Chocolate and Peanut butter is all you had to say....Drool! Ha I do love Rudolph though :)
ReplyDeleteSo delightful...and clever! The recipe sounds delicious, too...peanut butter cookies are my fav!!!
ReplyDeleteI think these still came out so cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of white chocolate..except, on Reese's!! These are too cute..especially the earmuff cookies. Merry Christmas! :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun are these?? Love them!! :)
ReplyDeleteHow do we live on the same continent yet you have white chocolate reese cups, peanut butter m&m's and biscoff spread. We are going on a cruise over March break and driving from Ontario to Miami, I'm going to load up on all these exotic goodies. :)
