Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Modified from the back of a package of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (available on Hershey's website). If you want to make peanut butter cookie dough, link to the recipe. If you're short on time, use this simple version.

24 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures
1 package (12 cookies) Pillsbury Peanut Butter Cookie dough

Heat oven to 375 degrees (or temperature indicated on cookie dough package). Remove wrappers from candies. Line small muffin cups (1-3/4 inches in diameter) with paper baking cups. Take a single portion of the prepared cookie dough, and split in half. Roll each half into a ball and place one ball in each prepared muffin cup. Do not flatten.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes until puffed and lightly browned; remove from oven. Immediately press peanut butter cup or piece onto each cookie. Cool completely in muffin pan. Makes 24 cookies.

Note: I do not usually use paper baking cups. I just spray the muffin cups well with baking spray and they seem to release easily from the pan.
