For the past few years, I’ve been participating in the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap.  Each blogger is paired with three others, and we send a delicious batch of cookies to each one.  It’s also a great way to help raise money for a charity.  We each pay a small fee to join and all that money is sent to Cookies for Kids’ Cancers.

Today I’m going to share the recipe I made to send to my blogger matches this year.  It’s Peanut Butter Cup Snickerdoodles.  It’s just my basic snickerdoodle recipe with peanut butter cups hidden inside.

You can make these super easy and just buy a pack of Betty Crocker Snickerdoodle cookie mix and do it that way, too.  Click HERE for a coupon for 50 cents off the cookie mixes!

After making up the cookie dough, I used a large ice cream scooper for one cookie. Then, I add a fun-size peanut butter cup and roll the cookie until the peanut butter cup is completely inside.

If you refrigerate the dough for about an hour, it makes rolling them into balls easier.

Then, I gently roll them in cinnamon and sugar.

And, next it was time to bake.

These are HUGE cookies, like bigger than the palm of my hand.  So, I baked them for 13 minutes and they were perfect!

If you aren’t eating them while still warm, then I recommend heating them up for 10-5 seconds to warm up the peanut butter cup inside.
