What’s better than a cookie? TWO types of cookies!
These are my two of my favorite recipes! They taste delicious and can easily
be baked at the same time! Peanut Blossoms + Peanut Butter Cup Cookies.
This recipe is perfect if you are looking for a variety of cookies on your Christmas Cookie plate this year!
If you are looking for the perfect recipe to make for a Cookie Exchange… here you go.
These are classic cookies and crowd pleasers!
DOUGH RECIPE
If you want to make both cookies at the same time, DOUBLE the recipe below.
Preheat the oven to 350. (work with your oven. mine is testy. Some people bake at 375.)
Mix all of the ingredients together in your mixer.
just dump them all in. (minus the chocolates…)
And you are ready to start making the two different cookies!
BAKE TIME:
Peanut Blossoms— 6 minutes, then 2 more minutes after you put the chocolate on.
Peanut Butter Cup Cookies —– 8 minutes, then 2 more minutes after you put the chocolate inside.
INGREDIENTS:
(again, this is for one recipe…
double if making both types of cookies. like I did in photos!)
1 3/4 cup Flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbs milk
Bag of Hershey Kisses… or Bag of mini Reese’s.
My mom used to make Peanut Blossoms when I was a kid, it’s a staple at the Holidays!
A few years ago I got a cookie scooper..best invention ever!
I ended up giving one to my mom for Christmas one year. They make great gifts because some people
don’t realize how handy they are until they actually have one.
Umm….If these photos don’t make you want to go bake these…I have failed you.
Peanut butter cup cookies… You had me at peanut butter.
I LOVE my mini muffin tins! If you don’t have one..get one!
I forget who first told me about this recipe…
But I officially love them. Life changing.
Spread the love you guys… pin these and make all your friends want to send
their husbands to cvs to grab a bag of peanut butter cups.
I made these yesterday and brought them to a family dinner at my parents’ house.
We had enough for some here and some to take to the neighbors.
Everyone is happy!
Which is your favorite? Are you a hershey kiss or a peanut butter cup girl??
If you make these and share on social media…tag me! (athomewithatnatalie)
So I can join all your followers in drooling over them.

December 7, 2015 at 10:55 amDo you push the chocolates in both kinds of cookies after they have baked or before? Do you just put a scoop on a pan for the blossoms or roll in a ball? And for the cups do you put a scoop in or make a ball too? Sorry I know these are classics but I have never made either! Cookie day round 1 is tomorrow at my house and they are going to our church bake sale!
