Peanut Butter Cookie Cups

Peanut Butter Cookie Cups
Peanut butter cookie cups are one of the easiest dessert to make. These miniature cookies are mouthwatering! Peanut butter cookie cups are basically a peanut butter cookie with a mini Reese's peanut butter cup in the center. However, you could substitute the Reese's peanut butter cups for Nutella or Hershey's Kisses. These cookies can be made with dough that you make from scratch, refrigerated dough or a packaged peanut butter cookie mix. This is a quick and easy dessert recipe, which is perfect for busy families or if you need to make a last minute dessert. These scrumptious treats are always a hit at parties and bake sales.

Peanut Butter Cookie Cup Kisses
You can substitute the Reese's miniature peanut butter cups for Hershey's Kisses (shown in photo). If you do use the Hershey's Kisses instead of the miniature peanut butter cups, bake the cookies first and then place the Kisses in the center of the cookies after you remove them from the oven. This will help to prevent the kisses from melting too much and losing their shape.
