Reese’s Cookie Cups are the perfect peanut butter cookie! Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are filled with peanut butter and Reese’s Pieces candies. They're a chocolate peanut butter lover’s dream!
Equipment
- mini muffin tin
- Ziploc bag or piping bag
- Mixing bowl, measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- ¾ cup salted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter, divided
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup Reese's pieces candies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until smooth and creamy. This should take 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
- Whisk in ½ cup of peanut butter and your vanilla followed by the eggs. Make sure the peanut butter and eggs are fully combined with the creamed butter mixture.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Reduce the speed of your mixer so the dry ingredients do not fly out of the mixing bowl. Gently whisk the wet and dry ingredients together until homogenous.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Fill a mini muffin tin with cookie dough and bake your cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
- Once your cookies are done baking, poke the middle of each cookie with the handle of a rolling pin or whisk. Fill the indentations with the remaining peanut butter and top with Reese's pieces.
- Let your cookies cool for a few minutes and then transfer them to a wire cooling rack. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- I find it easiest to fill my cookies with peanut butter by placing the peanut butter in a piping bag or ziploc bag and then piping it into the cookies. Spooning the peanut butter can be a little messy.
- Make sure you let your cookies cool for 10-20 minutes before removing them from the pan. Once you create that indention in the cookies they will be a little less stable, so you want them to cool before moving them.
- Store your cookies in a large airtight container on the counter for 5 days.
