Christmas is next week. NEXT WEEK. How in the world did that happen? I’m pretty much done with all of my shopping. Gifts have been made. No presents have been wrapped. A couple packages still need to be sent. I’m feeling the pressure as the day draw nears. I wish the only two things on my to-do list were being present with my family and baking. Lots of cuddles and lots of cookies.
These little peanut butter chocolate thumbprint cookies are my newest baking creation. I love making cookies at Christmastime, especially ones that remind me of my childhood. My mom would make these with little Hershey Kisses on top. We would eat the chocolate kiss and then the cookie. I’ve taken the classic peanut butter cookie and filled the center with soft, creamy chocolate. Doesn’t get much better than peanut butter and chocolate.
Need a new cookie recipe to bring to your Christmas party at work or cookie swap with your girlfriends? Here you go! Hard to resist, these peanut butter chocolate thumbprint cookies are a tiny, tasty treat.

The internet titan appeared intent on avoiding the kinds of caustic run-ins that have seen some Glass wearers tossed from eateries, Timberland Outlet online pubs or other establishments due to concerns over camera capabilities built into devices. Don't be “creepy or rude (aka, a “Glasshole"),” Google said in a guide posted online for Timberland Sale Explorer program members. “Respect others and if they have questions about Glass don't get snappy.”
Thank you for this awesome recipe! My son wanted “peanut butter” (Wow Butter) cookies so I left off the chocolate at the end. They were wonderful! He couldn’t leave them alone which tells me he LOVES them! I’ll be doubling the recipe so hopefully I can get some in the freezer for Christmas gatherings. Thank you from a very happy mom! Have a blessed Christmas!
Thank you, Tammy! Merry Christmas to you too!
