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.
