While a chunky peanut butter cookie dipped in dark chocolate and peanut butter is awesome, these Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies go to a whole new level with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups tucked inside. They are a great alternative to the traditional peanut butter cookie with a chocolate kiss. Perfect for a cookie swap or just for around the house, the only thing you need to worry about is making sure you save some for yourself because these are unbelievably delicious.

Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies

Last year one of the most popular cookie recipes on my blog was the Snickers Surprise Cookies. The creamy peanut butter cookie had a mini snickers bar tucked inside and had chocolate and caramel drizzled on the outside. My husband told me the only thing that could make the cookie better would be to make it a peanut butter version.

Ask and you shall receive.

I didn’t tell him what I was up to and he walked by the cookies on the table and stopped. “Oh, my gosh are those what I think they are?!?” Indeed.

Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies. I think it’s funny I surprised him with surprise cookies.

These are really simple to make and great to double if you are doing a cookie exchange or you have a peanut butter lover in your house.
