Super Simple Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

These are so simple that I almost didn't post this recipe but decided that sometimes we all need super simple ideas so............here it is! My grandmother always kept the two items for these cookies in her refrigerator and when we visited she would make us a few to enjoy while we played SkipBo. There was nothing better than a few fresh out of the oven with a glass of milk! YUMMY!


1 tube peanut butter cookie dough (of course you could use any kind of cookie dough)
1 package Reece's Peanut Butter Cups


Spray mini muffin pan cups with cooking spray. Cut off one an approximately 1/2 inch slice of cookie dough and then cut into two equal pieces. Place one piece in each mini tin. Bake at 350 degrees for between 7-9 minutes. Immediately upon taking the cookies out of the oven, press one peanut butter cup into each cookie. Do this quickly so the peanut butter cup won't melt onto your hands. Cool for about 5-10 minutes before taking cookies carefully out of the muffin tin.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Baking Time: 10 minutes per batch


TIP OF THE DAY: Place Reece's Peanut Butter Cups in the freezer for about 15 minutes before you need to use them. When they are frozen, it's much easier to peel the papers off.
