Peanut butter and chocolate go hand in hand, especially in Christmas cookies!  These cookies may seem a little familiar to you …

Yep … the same peanut butter and chocolate cookies as the Reindeer Cookies from a few days ago!  Sometimes inspiration comes when you least expect it!  While I was making the Reindeer Cookies, the light bulb in my head lit up and I can’t explain how or why it happened … who cares … it resulted in another peanut butter chocolate Christmas cookie that is easy peasy!

Here’s the important stuff … you will need a batch my Favorite Peanut Butter Cookie dough to make 48 Peanut Butter & Chocolate Wreath Cookies and the following …

• about 1/2 to 3/4 cup green sugar
• 96 red candy hearts (from SweetWorks)
• 48 red candy pearls (from SweetWorks)
• 48 dark chocolate balls (from SweetWorks)

Make the cookie dough and roll into balls, roll in sugar, place on a parchment lined baking sheet …

Bake at 350°F for 11 minutes, remove from oven, immediately place a chocolate ball in the center of each cookie and gently press down into cookie (the cookie will have cracks) …

Wait a minute or two and let the chocolate melt a little before going forward …

Add a red pearl first, then 2 hearts and let them touch the melted chocolate … it will help hold everything in place … easy peasy 😉

After I was done baking, photographing and packaging cookies for friends … looked at the cookies from a different angle and saw …

I always look forward to hearing your opinions!
