Peanut Butter Cup Cookies Recipe

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies Recipe

I haven’t baked anything in a while so I wanted to make some cookies last night. I’ve been craving peanut butter cups so I set out to find cookies that would either include peanut butter cups or at least replicate those same flavors. This recipe fit the bill. These cookies remind me of the hershey kiss cookies people make at the holidays. They were equally as tasty as those too!

The original recipe calls for using mini muffin pans to make the cookies. I don’t have a mini muffin pan so I just baked these on my silpat on a cookie sheet. I think the main problem I ran into was that the cookies weren’t deep enough for the peanut butter cups, which I suspect they would have been were they baked in the mini muffin pans. The lack of depth caused many of the cookies to crack when I pressed the peanut butter cups in. In the end, it didn’t matter since I wasn’t concerned with the appearance of the cookies.
