Description

Ingredients

  • Unsalted Butter: Softened butter forms the base of the cookie dough, adding rich flavor and moisture.
  • Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the dough and helps achieve a light, crispy texture.
  • Brown Sugar: Adds depth of flavor and moisture to the cookie cups.
  • Egg: Binds the ingredients together and contributes to the texture.
  • Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall flavor of the cookie cups.
  • All-Purpose Flour: The primary dry ingredient that gives structure to the cookies.
  • Baking Soda: Helps the cookies rise, making them light and fluffy.
  • Salt: Balances the sweetness of the cookie dough.
  • Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups: The star ingredient, these candies provide the gooey, melted center.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough into the muffin tin, pressing down gently to create a cup shape.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and immediately press a chocolate peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie cup.
  9. Allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve and enjoy your delicious Reese’s Cookie Cups!

Notes

  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and egg are at room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix the dough until just combined to avoid tough cookies.
  • Cool Properly: Allow the cookie cups to cool completely in the muffin tin to help them hold their shape.
