Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

I love baking around the holidays. Peanut Butter Cup Cookies are one of my favorite holiday cookie recipes.  Before this Whole Food Life, I used to do a lot of traditional baking.  However since that time, I have tried to modify those traditional recipes to make them a bit healthier. I hope you enjoy my version.

This recipe is not only easy.  It’s vegan, gluten free and grain free!  I used Justin’s mini peanut butter cups to make mine, but you can also make this recipe with my Clean Eating Peanut Butter Cups recipe if you prefer.

We filmed a short video for this recipe.  You can view it below.

  1. I've made a similar cookie, but with more of a standard peanut butter dough. I added the peanut butter cup after I pulled them out of the oven. This adds it before, but they don't look particularly melted in the picture (which I assume they would be somewhat melted). Is this right?
    1. I have made both this and the classic recipe putting the peanut butter cups in before baking. They are slightly melty when they first come out, but not too bad.
