Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies
‘Tis the season for holiday baking! But I know that some holiday baking recipes can be overwhelming.
Which is why I am sharing this super easy, yet festive and delicious chocolate dipped peanut butter cookie recipe!
The peanut butter cookie recipe began with my Peanut Butter Nutella Cups. I simply baked them in cookie form, allowed them to cool and then dipped them in delicious semi-sweet chocolate and finished them off with some holiday themed sprinkles!
