St. Patrick’s Day Cookie Cups

A fun little easy to make treat that looks like gold at the end of the rainbow in the clouds!

Pot of Gold Cookie Cups

I impulse buy the most random food things with no plan for them at all. For example, I love going to the Amish dent and bent store where they sell stuff super cheap. They had a huge bag of dehydrated mini-marshmallows. Bought them with absolutely no idea what I was going to do with them.

Fast forward to being in the checkout line at the Dollar Store and I saw fruit strips that looked like rainbows. I knew I had to have them, but again, no idea what I was going to do with them!

So I created these St. Patrick’s Day Cookie Cups out of my 2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cup Cookies ! It’s been a project of mine to create as many possibilities as I can out of that recipe, like 2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cup Cookies , Gnome Cookie Cups , and Peanut Butter S’mores Cookie Cups !

What You’ll Need

1 package (24 count) Ready-to-Bake Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Squares

24 Mini-Reese’s Cups, Unwrapped

1 (16 oz) can Store Bought Vanilla Frosting

Dehydrated Mini-Marshmallows

Candy Rainbows

Gold Sprinkles

How to Make St. Patrick’s Day Cookie Cups

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 24-count mini-muffin pan with non-stick spray and set aside.

One at a time, roll each Ready-to-Bake Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Square into a ball. Place into each mini-muffin spot.

Bake for 12 minutes.

In the meantime, unwrap 24 mini-Reese’s cups and set aside.

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately press unwrapped Reese’s down into the center of the cookie.

Let cool before removing from the pan.

Spread frosting on top of each cookie. Roll the tops into dehydrated mini-marshmallows.

Press rainbow candy into the center. Then sprinkle with gold sprinkles.
