Peanut Butter Cookie Cups image

Betty makes it easy to bake in a sweet surprise. These peanut butter cookie cups might begin as a simple recipe for homemade cookies, but they have a delicious and distinct surprise inside - a miniature Reese's™ peanut butter cup! They're baked in miniature muffin tins, which gives them the fun shape of peanut butter cups, and then a Reese's™ cup is pressed into the cookie minutes before they are done baking. While we love these delicious Reese's™ peanut butter cup cookies on their own any day of the week, we also encourage you to dress them up with a scoop of ice cream, drizzle them with chocolate sauce and peanut butter sauce, and transform them into a truly decadent and delicious dessert.
