Ritzy Cookies with Peanut Butter Filling are the ultimate treat for those who crave a perfect balance of buttery sweetness and savory peanut butter. These cookies are a fun and indulgent twist on traditional sandwich cookies, with a rich, crispy cookie base and a creamy, smooth peanut butter center. The combination of flavors and textures makes them irresistible, whether you’re enjoying them as a snack or serving them at a party or gathering.
The magic of Ritzy Cookies lies in their simplicity. The outer cookies are made from a buttery dough that’s rich and slightly crisp, giving them a satisfying texture. The flavor is subtly sweet and pairs perfectly with the creamy peanut butter filling that’s sandwiched between two cookies. The peanut butter adds a savory depth to the sweetness of the cookie, creating a flavor contrast that’s both indulgent and comforting.
Making Ritzy Cookies with Peanut Butter Filling is easy, and the result is a batch of cookies that are as delicious as they are visually appealing. The cookie dough is prepared with ingredients like butter, sugar, and a hint of vanilla, which creates a rich, flavorful base. The peanut butter filling is simple to make as well, with creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and a touch of vanilla to make it smooth and spreadable.
The cookies can be shaped into round discs and baked until they are golden brown, allowing the texture to remain crisp. Once they’ve cooled, a generous spoonful of the peanut butter filling is added between two cookies, creating a sandwich of sweet and savory goodness.
These Ritzy Cookies with Peanut Butter Filling are highly customizable. You can add chocolate chips to the cookie dough or drizzle melted chocolate over the finished cookies for an extra layer of sweetness. If you prefer a more decadent touch, sprinkle the cookies with sea salt to complement the rich peanut butter flavor.
Perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth, these cookies are a hit for cookie lovers and peanut butter enthusiasts alike. Whether served at a holiday party, packed in a lunchbox, or enjoyed with a glass of milk, Ritzy Cookies with Peanut Butter Filling will quickly become a favorite treat in your baking repertoire.

These are super easy to make and taste incredible! My kids love them!
These cookies are the bomb! Super easy to make and so yum 😋
I tried these and they turned out great too! Thanks for sharing! 😍
Are you suer this is correct? It just seems wrong to me.
I think it’s right! Ritz crackers and peanut butter are a classic combo. Give it a try!
No way! Ritz and candy melts? That sounds gross! How can that even work?
Tasted okay but the melting took forever. Maybe I did it wrong? Who knows.
I had the same issue! It can be tricky sometimes. Make sure the microwave isn’t on too high power next time!
Yeah, it took me a while too, but they were worth the wait! Just don’t give up. 😊
Ritz crackers and peanut butter? Sounds weird but actually so good! Who knew?
I know right? It’s like a gourmet snack! Can’t believe I never tried it before. Yum!
Ritz crackers are so salty! It kinda ruins the sweet candy taste.
I think the saltiness actually balances the sweetness! Just my opinion.
I don’t know, it seems kinda weird to put peanut butter between crackers. Isn’t that just a sandwich? 🤔
Who even thought of this? Ritz for dessert? 🤔
I tried making these, but the candy melts didn’t melt right. They’re just not right.
These cookies are brilliant! The sweet and salty combo is just perfect. My kids loved them!
Made these for my kids and they went crazy for them! Will definitely make again. Thanks, Maurice!
Great for parties! I usually just use any cracker I have.
I love how easy these are! Perfect for when friends come over.
This recipe is awesome! I added some sprinkles on top of the chocolate 🍪
So easy to make! I made these for my book club and they were a hit!
I didn’t have candy melts, so I used chocolate chips instead. Still turned out great!
Awesome! I’m glad it still worked out for you! Chocolate chips sound yummy too.
I’ve heard chocolate chips don’t melt the same way. Are you sure it turned out great?
Super easy and fun to make! My friends loved them at the party!
Glad to hear it! These are a hit at any gathering. I can’t believe how easy they are to make! 😍
Wut? Ritz and chocolate? Sounds like the worst combo ever.
OMG! Simply delicious! I couldn’t stop eating them 😋
I tried making these but the melted candy glued everything together. Total disaster!
Would not recommend at all.
I don’t think it’s a disaster! Just needs practice. Maybe less candy next time? Don’t give up!
Sounds like you might have used too many candy melts! I had a similar issue once. You just need to coat them lightly! Try again, they can be delicious!
Just okay. I expected more flavor or something. Maybe I did it wrong.
I think you might need more candy melts! They really make a difference in taste. 🥴
I don’t get how these could be flavorless! It’s got peanut butter and chocolate! Maybe you used old ingredients?
Not sure about mixing RITZ crackers with sweets. Sounds weird to me.
Too much work for a cookie, I just eat the crackers with peanut butter.
Who needs all that extra?
