Ingredients
Ingredients
- 16 ounces ready to bake peanut butter cookie dough
- 24 Reese’s Miniatures Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Separate the cookie dough into 24 pieces and place one piece into each cavity of the mini muffin tin. There’s no need to reshape the dough; just ensure each piece is fully contained within its own cavity.
- Bake the Dough: Bake the cookie dough for 12 to 15 minutes or until the cookies look slightly puffed and golden around the edges, indicating they are cooked through.
- Add Peanut Butter Cups: Remove the muffin tin from the oven, and while the cookies are still warm, quickly press one unwrapped Reese’s Miniature Peanut Butter Cup into the center of each cookie.
- Cool: Allow the peanut butter cookie cups to cool completely in the muffin tin, about 1 to 2 hours. This lets them firm up and makes removal easier.
- Remove and Serve: Gently twist each cookie cup loose from the muffin tin. If needed, carefully use a butter knife to help pop them out without breaking. Serve as a delicious treat or dessert.
Notes
- For easier removal, ensure the cookie cups are fully cooled before attempting to remove from the muffin tin.
- Using cooking spray or muffin liners helps prevent sticking and preserves the shape.
- You can substitute Reese’s Miniatures with other peanut butter candies if desired.
- Store leftover cookie cups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
