SAVE THIS REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUP COOKIES TO YOUR FAVORITE PINTEREST BOARD!
I rate everything I bake on a scale of 1-4 with 4 being the best and I have to say that these Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Cookies earned 3 1/2 rolling pins. These were quite delicious!
The thing that took the most time with these cookies was the unwrapping and cutting of the peanut butter cups.
A couple of these cookies and a nice tall glass of cow juice and you’ll be ALL set! Ok, maybe a few more than a couple.
Just watch the baking time. You want the middles a little gooey so you can stick the cup pieces in, and then bake them for a few more minutes to set them. There was something else I was going to tell you, but I can’t ‘member. Hm.

You’ll notice that I didn’t have the cookie sheet covered in parchment. Yeah, that was a mistake, that’s why I’m suggesting you do it. This batch of cookies became a little browner than I would have liked.
After I used the parchment, they were much better and were able to be removed from the cookie sheet without nearly as much trouble. Yeah, it wasn’t pretty.
Um. I don’t know. I can’t remember. Obviously, it wasn’t too important. I don’t think it had anything to do with the cookies. Chalk it up to a pre-pre senior moment.

Oh yeeeaaaah, about cutting up the peanut butter cups… There isn’t an easy way to do it.
I did it when they were room temp. and I did it after they had been refrigerated and I did it after they had been frozen for a while. It really didn’t make a difference, a few of them broke apart.
The good thing, I just stuck them back together and you couldn’t even tell after they’d been in the cookies.
And storing them…I put them in an airtight container and stuck them in the fridge to set the peanut butter cups, separating the layers with parchment. Good idea, if I do say so myself. I liked them better cold anyway because they were a tad bit chewier and I’m really into anything chewy.
And these certainly aren’t the kind of cookies you want to be making in the middle of an Arizona summer.
Just sayin’. If you were wanting the urge to do that. I can see those peanut butter cups melting all over your little digits.
