Reese’s Cookie Cups
There’s nothing quite like the combo of chocolate and peanut butter, especially when it’s wrapped up in a soft, chewy cookie. These Reese’s Cookie Cups are so easy, incredibly delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
- 1 package Reese’s cookie dough 24-count
- 24 mini Reese’s peanut butter cups
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. You can also use a baking spray with flour for easier release.
- Take each piece of cookie dough and roll it between your palms into a smooth ball. Place each ball into the cup of the muffin pan. This helps them bake up evenly and form the perfect cookie base.
- Bake for 10 to 14 minutes. Keep a close eye - the edges should be golden brown but not too dark. The centers may look a little soft, but will firm up as they cool.
- Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press one mini peanut butter cup gently into the center of each cookie. The heat from the cookie will slightly melt the chocolate, creating that gooey center.
- Let the cookie cups cool completely in the pan before removing. Enjoy!
Notes
Let Them Cool Completely: Removing the cookies too early may cause them to fall apart. Give them time to firm up in the pan.
Grease the Muffin Pan Well: Nonstick spray or butter helps ensure the cookie cups come out easily without breaking or sticking.
Use Fresh Dough: Check the expiration date on your cookie dough. Fresher dough bakes up better and doesn’t dry out as quickly.
Avoid Overbaking: Keep an eye on them toward the end, as overbaking leads to dry cookie cups and makes the Reese’s harder to press in.
