Gooey Butter Peanut Butter Cookies {VIDEO}

There are a lot of peanut butter cookies out there, and I love them all!  I’ve said this before, and I’m going to say it again……you know it’s a good cookie when they disappear fast!  That’s exactly what happened when I made  Gooey Butter Peanut Butter Cookies!

Gooey Butter Peanut Butter Cookies

What’s not to love about a cookie with butter in the name TWICE?!  That’s enough to make me say……YIPPEE!

It’s no secret how much I LOVE all things gooey butter, and my husband practically bleeds peanut butter, so I thought I would make a Peanut Butter Gooey Butter Cookies, and it worked.

What Makes Peanut Gooey Butter Cookies So Delicious?

In the past, I’ve made Red Velvet Gooey Butter Cookies, so this time I just swapped out the red velvet cake mix for a yellow cake mix and added 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, and it worked!

I love that this peanut butter cookies recipe produces a soft cookie, unlike most peanut butter cookies that are usually crispy.  Not that there is anything wrong with a nice, crisp peanut butter cookie, but what I love most about this cake mix cookie is how soft, delicate, and almost cake-like it is.

I know they will make the perfect addition to our holiday cookie trays this year.

It wouldn’t be the holidays without our favorite gooey butter cake, and now we can enjoy gooey butter peanut butter cookies as well.

If these gooey butter peanut butter cookies don’t make you say YIPPEE, I don’t know what will! 😉
