These Muddy Buddy Cookies are soft and delicious. They have a chocolate peanut butter cookie base base and topped with muddy buddies (aka puppy chow) for a nice crunch. The dusting of powdered sugar on top makes these beautiful. They are a fun and festive Christmas cookie and can't wait for you guys to try them!!
