If you are looking for a super yummy addictive treat – these Peanut Butter Cup Cookies are one the best you will find. We are excited to share this Peanut Butter Cup Cookies Recipe with you. Save the basic Chocolate Chip cookie recipe – it is the best one I have ever made – they turn out perfect for us EVERY time!
This Chocolate Chip cookie recipe was shared with me by my sister because I wasn’t able to make a “great” cookie. It was terrible – lol. I just wanted to make chocolate chip cookies and they never turned out. This recipe is super easy to follow and every time I have made them, they turn out PERFECT! Easy for anyone to make and whoever eats them is going to wonder how you did it. You can have a batch of fresh-baked cookies in less than 20 minutes!
Follow the recipe below to make the cookie dough. You can add whatever you would like (like Chocolate Chips, nuts, etc). I have even added coconut before. After you make the dough, take an unwrapped bite-size Reese’s cup and wrap it in a thin layer of cookie dough, roll it into a ball, and place it on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
The cookie will bake into the perfect cookie with just a bump in the middle where the candy is. The cookies were so good they only lasted for a few minutes with requests to make more. These are great for family treats, parties, activities, gifts, and more!

I would love to know what you think about this recipe.
We were able to make them on our new set of Mrs. Fields Bakeware. We used the Cool Bake™ pan and the Cookie Sheet while making these cookies and they baked them to perfection. We also love our Cookie Cuttables™ Christmas, Fill N Flip™ Locking Layer Baking Pan, and the Cupcake Cone Pan™ to help us be creative in the kitchen.
