These sweet cookies are similar to your favorite holiday peanut butter crackle cookies, with an added peanut butter and chocolate treat mixed in. I think you’ll find that the addition of chopped peanut butter cups helps make this family favorite cookie even better than the classic original.

A few weeks ago, I made this special treat for my darling B.O.B. Bob’s birthday celebration. Sure, with everything going on right now, it was a celebration of two, but hey, it was at least low-key and delicious. We ordered Thai food for dinner, went to pick it up, came home, and then spent a Friday night in with one another sharing some noodles and appetizers. I’m not gonna lie, it may be one of my favorite birthday celebrations ever. And you know what? The cookies made it even better.

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Granulated Sugar (Additional for Rolling)
• 3/4 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
• 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
• 1 Egg
• 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
• 1 1/3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 12 Peanut Butter Cups, Chopped

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the sugar, peanut butter, and butter together for 3 minutes on medium speed.
3. Add the egg; mix on medium speed for 30 seconds.
4. Add the vanilla; mix on medium speed for 30 seconds.
5. In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt together.
6. Add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl, and mix with a spatula until all of the flour is incorporated.
7. Fold the chopped peanut butter cups into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.
8. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to measure out the dough. Roll each scoop or tablespoon of dough between the palms of your hands and then roll each ball into a small bowl of granulated sugar to coat. Place each sugar-coated cookie ball onto a Silpat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
9. Bake for 16 to 17 minutes. Allow the cookies to rest for 5 minutes before removing them to a baking rack to finish cooling completely.

Suggestions:

• Place your peanut butter cups in the refrigerator or freezer to make them easier to chop.
• You’ll need about 1/3-cup of granulated sugar to roll the cookies in before baking them.

Improvements:

• For crunchier cookies, roll the dough in coarse colored sugar crystals in lieu of granulated sugar.
• Add 1/4-teaspoon of espresso powder to the flour mixture.
• Replace the chopped peanut butter cups with any type of chopped chocolate and peanut butter candy.
