The tiny peanut butter cup blossoms are so small! Perfect Elf Food!
So, pretty much everything is cute when it’s itty bitty, right?
I mean, baby clothes are just so dang precious…
puppies.
mini cupcakes.
Size 2 clothes.
I mean, don’t the small sizes always look better than the larger-ish ones?
Explain that to me.
Shoes also…I will see an adorable shoe on display and then pick put my size of the exact same shoe and the cuteness gets lost somewhere between the 6 and the 8.
Where does it go?
I know, right?! Mini peanut butter cups!
I have also seen them at Trader Joe’s in case you were wondering 😉
So, I bought them, because you sort of HAVE to buy teeny tiny peanut butter cups when you find them. I am pretty sure that it’s like a rule or something.
I decided to use Elissa’s brilliant idea of mini pb chocolate chip blossoms and tweak it slightly into the form of
Itty Bitty, Teeny Weeny Peanut Butter Blossoms
People are gonna love these because they are totally cute and popable.
Making them is a bit repetitive, but they are totally worth it…
trust me, I’m an expert!
Itty Bitty, Teeny Weeny Peanut Butter Cup Blossoms
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup room temp butter (I use salted)
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 1/2 cups AP flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- reserve 1/2 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
- Cream butter and sugars together on medium speed. Add peanut butter, mix. Add eggs and vanilla, mix until combined.
- Slowly add dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Chill dough for at least 2 hrs.
- Preheat to 350
- When dough is chilled remove it from fridge and roll into 1/4 teaspoon sized balls. Roll each ball in reserved granulated sugar.
- Place each rolled cookie on baking sheet. I fit about 60 on my sheet.
- Bake 5 minutes until bottoms gets slightly golden and tops JUST start to crack.
- As soon as they come out of the oven, quickly press pb cup into cookie. They cool quickly based on their size.
- Transfer to wire cooling rack until pb cup sets, approx 20-30 minutes.
Notes
Store in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
These are PRECIOUS! I love tiny things! (most of the time, LOL)
Anyway, bad flashback to my youth. I dont ever want to remeber how deeply I felt all of those Boyz II Men songs…*cringe*
wow that looks like a labor of love. you must be SO patient!
You just made my heart melt! I completely agree that mini is always best. These are adorable, and I'm so glad you shared them with me. I would have a hard time not eating an entire plateful!
These are so cute and definitely a must try. 🙂
I want a Garfield phone. So jealous.
Also, I still listen to "Shoop" (it's on the iPod…for reals), so maybe I have a few maturity issues?!
Anyways–loved the cookies and LOVED the post and how sweet you were towards Elissa and her blog.
As usual, you are completely awesome.
Ha! I had a Garfield phone too!! I love these tiny cookies!! Scheduling a trip to TJ's this weekend!
These are darling!!!!! Damn Trader Joes is not anywhere near me. I dont even think there is one in FLorida!!!! Grrrrr
You are so right! Tiny things are always cuter! I love miniature food. You can eat a ton of it and you never know how much you ate because you lose count.
Tiny peanut butter cups? I've never seen these before. I must go find them!
Nothing beats anything mini. These not only look cute but they also look like they taste delicious!
Oh my, these are so cute!
