Ingredients
- 12 Refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough balls (about 1–2 tablespoons each)
- 12 Bite-sized Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Grease a mini muffin pan thoroughly to prevent the cookie dough from sticking during baking.
- Add cookie dough: Place one spoonful of the refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough into each muffin cup, ensuring they are evenly portioned.
- Bake the cookies: Preheat your oven as per the cookie dough package instructions, then bake the cookie dough-filled muffin pan for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Top with Reese’s: Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press one bite-sized Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup into the center of each warm cookie to slightly melt and embed it.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookie bites to cool for a few minutes to set, or enjoy warm if desired for a gooey, melty treat.
Notes
- Using refrigerated cookie dough speeds up preparation and ensures consistency.
- If you prefer a crisper cookie, bake for the full 12 minutes or slightly longer based on your oven.
- Mini muffin pans are ideal for bite-sized cookies; regular muffin pans will produce larger cookies and require longer baking.
- Letting the cookie bites cool slightly helps the Reese’s pieces hold their shape.
- For a fun variation, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
