There’s nothing like a warm cookie and a glass of milk during the Christmas season. There are so many options and varieties to make everyone happy! Bring in the cheer with some other delicious recipe cookies like these Christmas Pinwheel Cookies, Chocolate Thumbprint Turtle Cookies, or these Oatmeal Rolled Sugar Cookies. Have you ever been to a Christmas cookie exchange party? I love them! Everybody brings a few dozen of their favorite holiday cookie and then you trade so you can go home with an assortment each time. You can even do judging and prizes for the most popular cookies, if you want. The white chocolate peanut butter cookies would be an EXCELLENT cookie exchange party choice as they are 1. super simple to make, but 2. have that attention-grabbing quality of being dipped in white chocolate with a few festive sprinkles. And of course the most important factor is that peanut butter white chocolate chip cookies are just as delicious to eat as they are to look at! The heavenly combination of white chocolate and peanut butter is heavily underrated. The sweet white chocolate chips are a perfect match for the nutty, roasted flavor of peanut butter and the thick, puffy texture is just the BEST. These are a great idea to take to a holiday party or just enjoy with your own family while watching a Christmas movie. Any peanut butter lover will enjoy this tasty sweet treat!
Ingredient Notes
Peanut butter: I tested this recipe with regular creamy peanut butter and chunky peanut butter, but not natural peanut butter (the kind that separates a bit in the cupboard). So if you are having troubles and using natural peanut butter, that could be the culprit. White chocolate chips: My favorite brand of white chocolate chips is definitely Ghiradelli. They are so creamy and have the best flavor. You’ll need some for both adding to the cookie dough itself, but also for melting and dipping. You can always use white chocolate melting wafers or even almond bark for dipping if that’s easier for you than melting white chocolate chips. Sprinkles: These are totally optional but they make these peanut butter white chocolate chip cookies super fun and festive! Sprinkles are a quick and easy way to achieve a holiday look just by switching out colors for the season. Use pink, red & white for Valentine’s Day or pastel colors for Easter!
How to Make This Recipe
Recipe Tips
Storage: Cookies can be kept in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Freezing: Once the white chocolate is completely set, the cookies can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Peanut butter lovers version: If you can’t get enough peanut butter, consider swapping out the white chocolate chips in these peanut butter cookies for the same amount of Reese’s peanut butter chips for even more of a peanut butter experience. Milk or dark chocolate variation: You can always change out the white chocolate chips if you aren’t a huge white chocolate fan and use milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips instead. Change up the sprinkles! These are great cookies for Christmas, but they can actually be used for a variety of occasions. Just switch up the decorations and add in fall sprinkles for Thanksgiving, birthday sprinkles for a birthday party, or green for St. Patrick’s Day. Have fun and make them your own!
