Peanut Butter Cookie Cups
Description
This recipe uses pre-made or homemade peanut butter cookie dough portioned into a mini muffin pan. The cookies bake until light golden on the edges and remain soft. Immediately after baking, a mini Reese’s peanut butter cup is pressed gently into the center of each cookie while still warm, allowing it to soften slightly and meld into the cookie.
Once cooled completely in the pan, the cookies loosen easily and can be removed without crumbling. The combination of peanut butter cookie and peanut butter cup candy creates layers of peanut flavor with a slight chocolate note. The small size makes them convenient for serving as bite-size snacks or desserts.
Variations include using chocolate chip cookie dough or other types of homemade dough. Cookies should be cooled fully before removing to avoid breakage. Store the cookie cups in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for longer storage, up to three months.
