There is something about homemade cookies that are irrestable. You can find me in the kitchen often whipping up all sorts of cookies. The crazy part is that I like cookies but I’m not in love with them. They aren’t my dessert of choice even though they are baked often at my house.
For the longest time, my go to cookie to make was homemade chocolate chip cookies. As much as we love them, I got bored and wanted to add more cookies to my recipe roll. I stumbled upon a recipe for peanut butter muddy buddy cookies and knew instantly they would become one of my favorites to make.
Peanut Butter Muddy Buddy Cookies have a very similar base to a regular chocolate chip cookie so it’s very possible you have all of the ingredients already in your pantry. My favorite part of the cookie is delicious chocolate smeared all over the top then sprinkled with powered sugar. The Peanut Butter Muddy Buddy Cookies are full of flavor. All of your guests will be asking for more!
