It's one of my favorite times of the year. Not because of the holidays...but because of a reason to do what I love to do best! BAKE COOKIES!
My family does have their favorites, but each year I try to create a new twist on a classic or come up with a new flavored cookie. This year, it's these Peanut Butter White Chocolate Chip Cookies. Have you tasted the new white chocolate Reese's Peanut Butter cups yet? So good. These cookies are inspired by that candy. They are rich peanut butter cookies generously stuffed with lots of white chocolate morsels and sprinkled with a bit of salt to off set all the sweetness. They are divine!
Tips for Making the Very Best Cookies!
- Line baking sheets with parchment or use a silpat for easy lift and cleanup!
- Preheat your oven to the required temperature...and once you put the cookies in the oven, watch them carefully. All ovens are different and cookies can bake at a wide range of times depending on your oven.
- Use a cookie scoop for perfectly portioned, all the same size, cookies
- Don't over bake cookies! They'll turn out dry and hard.
- Let your cookies rest on the baking sheet for at least 2 - 3 minutes before removing them to a cooling rack. This will ensure your cookie doesn't fall apart when you move them.

Renee, I'm so grateful you're doing this. As I said in my last comment to you I'n a new reader of your blog. You suggested I make a rolled red and green sugar Christmas cookie and you were right! I made the recipe and took it to a open house and those cookies were the hit of the night. Not only did they look super festive but the taste was wonderful. Everyone wanted your recipe so I told them about your blog. I'm thrilled to see what other cookies you send our way because this peanut butter cookie looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi Betty! Thank you so much for sharing my blog with your friends and thank you for taking the time to review my cookie recipes! I'm so happy that I'm helping you with your holiday baking this year. Thank you also for your readership! It means the world to me! Happy Holidays!
DeleteI remembered my Mom used to bake Peanut Butter cookies when we were kids so I decided to add YOURS to my Bake and Gift list for my children and grandkids. This particular Christmas is a bit of a sad one for me. I lost my Dad this past October and my Mom passed away almost 3 years earlier to the day. To put some of the JOY back into the Season, my baking was almost exclusively about my memories growing up. It was very therapeutic! This cookie recipe was the winner of my attempts to copycat some of those memories with the white chocolate chips being something new for MY family to remember me by. So delicious that I had to make a half batch just for ME!!! Thanks so much for the great recipe and OLD + NEW memories that are being made in our lives this Christmas Season.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra! So sorry for your loss. I'm glad that baking this cookie recipe helped ease the pain a little and that you and your family enjoyed these cookies! Merry Christmas to you!
