Peanut Butter Fudge Puddles that are the perfect cookie for Christmas or any holiday cookie tray.  I make these for dessert all year ’round!

Peanut Butter Fudge Puddles Cookie Recipe for Christmas or HolidaysI have never made fudge puddles before but they have been on my radar for a while now as I knew they would make for the perfect Christmas cookie. I was right! I very highly recommend these cookie cups.Tthey are not only delicious, but extremely visually appealing, as well.  They look so fancy and like you spent a lot of time making them, when they were really very easy and required very little effort.

The chocolate fudge center melty, very rich and just plain awesome. I wanted to eat the fudge filling with a spoon! I may have done that, but don’t judge me. Also, the peanut butter flavor doesn’t stand out too much, but that could be a good thing depending on your taste buds. I like a lot of peanut butter, this these fudge puddles had just the right balance of peanut butter and chocolate.

So, what are your favorite cookies to make for the holidays?  If you can squeeze in one more round of baking before Christmas day, squeeze these in.  I can tell you one thing – these will become a staple in our household, and not just for Christmas.  Nope – I’ll be making these babies all year ’round.

If you like chocolate and peanut butter together, definitely try these recipes:

Gooey Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars – I love how soft and chewy these bars came out to be!

Peanut Butter Buckeye Bark – this bark is no-bake and a dream for your sweet tooth!

Note:  If the chocolate filling gets a little thick, microwave for 10-15 seconds and it should loosen up enough for you to resume filling the cookie cups.
