Day 17: Peanut Butter Cup Cookie

It is the weekend of peanut butter! Here is another peanut butter match up that I absolutely adore.

These also might be one of the easier ones too, just make peanut butter cookie dough, scope into a mini muffin pan, bake and stuff with Reeses.  Only one rotation in the oven, you can have these pumped out in 30 minutes or less.

These are always crowd pleasers. The only people I know that don’t like Reeses are people who can’t eat peanut butter. And I feel bad. Peanuts butter is a staple, and they will never be able to taste the pure greatness of it.

Time to throw another peanut butter combination on your holiday cookie platter.  People will love you for it. Promise!
