Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Peanut Butter Cup Cookies combine a soft peanut butter cookie base with a melted mini Reese's Cup pushed into the center after baking. The baked cookies have a tender, chewy texture with a rich peanut butter flavor complemented by the chocolate candy. Chilling the cookies helps set the chocolate, creating a clickable, creamy center. These cookies make an indulgent treat where the peanut butter and chocolate merge in every bite.
