GUEST POST: Peanut Butter Cup Cookies from Glorious Treats
“I’ll bring the cookies” is often a phrase I say when invited to a party… so when Katrina invited me to this party, I knew it was my kind of place!I love pretty and detailed cookies… but sometimes I just need something quick and easy! Even when time is limited, I don’t want taste or presentation to fall to the wayside! These Peanut Butter Cup Cookies are so easy to make, yet are so delicious, and cute too!
The main beauty of these treats is how easily they come together, so for this recipe I opt for a bag of sugar cookie mix (such as Betty Crocker). You can certainly make these with homemade sugar cookie dough as well, either route you chose, they are delicious.
Peanut Butter Cup Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 bag- sugar cookie mix and the ingredients as directed on the bag, usually just 1 egg and some butter.
- 1 bag- Reeses mini peanut butter cups, That's it!
Instructions
- Spray a mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Preheat oven to 350*F.
- Prepare sugar cookie dough according to bag directions (or prepare sugar cookie dough using your favorite recipe).
- Roll dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon), and fill mini muffin tin with one ball of dough in each space.
- Bake cookies 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on the edges, but still a bit soft in the center.
- While the cookies bake, unwrap the mini peanut butter cups.
- Remove tray from oven, and press one peanut butter cup into each warm cookie.
- Allow cookies to cool (in pan). The peanut butter cup will melt a bit, but then firm up as the cookies cool.
- Once cool, remove from pan.
- If desired, melt a bit of chocolate and drizzle over cool cookies, or add some festive sprinkles (while the peanut butter cup is still a little melty).

my mother in law shared a recipe similar to this years ago! It uses a pb based cookie dough. Omg, my favorite!!! It’s great to use the mixed bag of pb cups too! Then you have white chocolate and dark along with the milk chocolate
That’s a genius idea! Yum!

I’ve made these a couple times now and they are a big hit! I even did some with white chocolate Reese’s cups. Yum!
I also changed it up a bit for Easter – I used the Reese’s pieces eggs (one package) and placed one or two eggs in each cookie. Instant egg nest! 🙂 Next time I think I’ll also add some green sugar crystals to look like grass.
do you think this would work with regular sized muffin pans and regular size pb cups? i dont have a mini pan, short on time, but these look delicious!
Yummy! Wish peanut butter cups were common here in Oz
Glory, these look delicious. I never buy reese's cups because I'd eat them all before doing anything else with them but I may just brave up and try this year

I have found there are so many things you can do with a pouch of sugar cookie mix. And these look wonderful!

Seriously the best way to make a cookie better is just have a Reese's PB in the middle.
