    Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cookies | Christmas Cookie Idea

    by Mindi Cherry

    Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

    I know about 3 people in this world who don't like peanut butter cups and the idea of combining them with a cookie? Yes Please! These Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cookies combine that candy that we all know and love with a simple sugar cookie recipe. These are baked in a mini muffin pan and are just SO easy to make.

    Of course, the best scenario is to make them, allow them to cool a few minutes and then eat them immediately so that you still have some of that peanut butter and chocolate goodness when it is soft and gooey. But that may just be me!

    Hennyway - your guests, kids or just you will love these! To make them, you will need:
