These Reese’s Cookie Cups are the perfect combination of soft, buttery cookie dough and creamy peanut butter cups. With just 20 minutes from start to finish, they’re ideal for satisfying your sweet tooth or impressing your guests.
Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 24 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped
Directions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
• Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy cleanup.
2. Make the Cookie Dough:
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
4. Form the Cookie Cups:
• Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place each one into the prepared mini muffin tin.
5. Bake:
• Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are puffed.
6. Add Reese’s:
• As soon as the cookie cups come out of the oven, press a mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup into the center of each cookie. The heat will slightly melt the chocolate, creating the perfect texture.
7. Cool and Serve:
• Allow the cookie cups to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Quick Baking Tips:
• Soft Butter: Ensure the butter is at room temperature for smooth blending.
