Peanut Butter Cup Cookies with Reese’s Thins

The most viral video I’ve made is of these 2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cup Cookies . Coincidentally, it was one of the first ones I’ve ever made!

Since then, I’ve been working to create all sorts of variations of the popular peanut butter cookie. Some of them include Peanut Butter Spider Cookies , Pillsbury Peanut Butter Blossoms , Valentine Peanut Butter Blossoms , Peanut Butter S’mores Cookie Cups , Peanut Butter Blossoms , and these Peanut Butter Cup Cookies!

I was inspired by Cooking with Karli to make these! These can be jazzed up by rolling the dough in sprinkles before baking for whatever holiday you are celebrating!

What You’ll Need

1/2 cup Butter, Softened

1/2 cup White Sugar

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

1/2 cup Peanut Butter

2 tbsp Milk

1 tsp Vanilla

1 3/4 cup Flour

1 tsp Baking Soda

Reese’s Thins, Unwrapped

How to Make Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Beat together 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1 egg, 2 tbsp milk, and 1 tsp vanilla.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 3/4 cup flour, and 1 tsp baking soda. Then pour into the peanut butter mixture and beat until you have cookie dough.

Scoop out 1 1/2 tbsp size amounts of dough and roll into balls. Before placing the balls of cookie dough on the baking sheet, roll around in extra white sugar in a shallow bowl.

Place balls of cookie dough on the baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.

Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, place an unwrapped Reese’s Thin into the center of the cookie.

Transfer to a cooling rack and allow the Reese’s to completely cool and set before eating.
