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!
My friends at SKIPPY® recently asked if I would create a peanut butter cookie recipe for an ultimate peanut butter-filled holiday. I’ll share with you how you can enter to win a lifetime supply of Skippy Peanut Butter or thousands of dollars a little later in this post. I don’t know about you…..but that would totally make our holiday fun.
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 GOOEY BUTTER PEANUT 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 SKIPPY® Creamy Peanut Butter (I used their Roasted Honey Nut flavor) 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! 😉

I keep seeing gooey butter cookies everywhere today. And I love butter. And peanut butter. And gooey desserts. I think I just found my next holiday cookie 😀
peanut butter cookies are one of my favourite! Great recipe and
Peanut butter – just makes me smile. Although my kids are mostly grown now PB has always been a staple in our home. We all love peanut butter but no one loves it more than my daughter – now 24 yo. She took peanut butter to school for lunch in some form every day – as a dipper, stuffed into the hollowed out core of an apple, or the iconic PBJ sandwich. Nothing was as telling as when she packed to spend a year studying abroad in Versailles, France. She had a weight limit of what she could take – for a whole year of living. She packed, weighed her bag, re-packed, re-weighed, re-packed but never once did the 3-lb container of Skippy peanut butter come out of the suitcase! When we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a trip to visit her peanut butter was again in the suitcase to tide her over until she returned home!
haha! Great story!!
