I used a regular muffin tin (had no mini),pressed 1/4 inch slices in,and baked about 14 mins. Then melted the peanut butter cups in the microwave, used a medicine cup to make an indentation and filled with 1 Tbsp into each. Had leftover dough and baked the usual way, drizzled with remaining PB mix. Delicious!

These were incredible! I've seen a couple of reviews compare them to the simple recipe where you bake cookie dough with a peanut butter cup in the middle... I've made those many times and I really don't think you can compare the two. Sure, if you want something super fast that's similar, do that, but these are decadent and impressive-looking and tasting, and a peanut butter cup would just not have same effect.

These were even better than I thought they would be! From other users tips, I did use half peanut butter and half choc chip to shake things up. I used the cold medicine cup for shaping the cups after they were cooked. For my helpful hint, use a 1T measuring spoon to scoop the filling. Makes less mess and almost perfect results! I also froze them when they were done for a firmer set. I know some kids (and adults) that are going to be pretty happy this afternoon!

This recipe was a major hit at a birthday party. I made half with peanut butter cookie dough and have with chocolate chip cookie dough. I crushed put Reece's peanut butter cups as the center. I found you have to crush the peanut butter cups or the peanut butter just sits like a dry lump in the middle. Very easy to make in a mini muffin pan.

I use chocolate chip cookie dough. Freezing it first makes it easier to slice. Cut slices into fourths and drop into greased mini muffin tins. No need to press into shape. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes. Unwrap Reese's peanut butter cups while cookies are baking. As soon as cookies are removed from oven, gently press pb cups into cookies. Freeze until chocolate is firm to the touch. Turn pans upside down and press on bottom of pans to remove cookies. We like to store these in the fridge or freezer. YUM!

Oh so easy! You can use any cookie dough---allergic to peanuts--try a Kiss and sprinkle with your imagination! I have been making these for many years. Try them you'll love them.
