• Refrigerate the cookies for 30 minutes.
• Spray mini muffin tins with cooking spray, then place a cookie dough ball in each muffin cup.
• Bake the cookies at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes. If you like cookies to be soft, be sure not to overbake them. They shouldn't be browned at all.
• As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, press the peanut butter cups into the center of the cookie.
• Allow the cookies to cool for about 10-15 minutes in the pan, then loosen the cookies and move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store the cookies in an airtight container.

REESES CUP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place parchment paper on the cookie sheets you plan on using.
• Combine chocolate chips and chocolate squares in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted (you will need to stop the microwave and stir the chips every two minutes to prevent the chocolate from burning). Cool slightly.
• Combine sugar and 1/2 cup shortening in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed until blended and crumbly. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add salt and vanilla. Reduce the speed of the mixer. Add chocolate slowly. Mix well. Stir in the flour and baking soda with a spoon until well blended. Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls and place a couple of inches apart on an ungreased parchment covered baking sheet.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until set. Don't overbake! Press the peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie immediately after removing from oven. Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer the cookies to another surface.
• Place the peanut butter chips in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave until smooth (you will need to stir after every minute needed in the microwave to prevent burning). Scrape the melted peanut butter chips into a frosting piping bag with a round, small tip. Squeeze the frosting in a drizzled zig-zag pattern. Enjoy!

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE CUPS

Steps:

• The first thing you need to decide is whether you will be using full size or mini Reese's cups. If you choose the full size, you will need a regular size muffin tin, but if you choose the minis you will need a mini muffin tin. I think the full size makes a better cookie.
• Preheat oven according to the cookie dough instructions, usually about 350°fF.
• Spray the muffin tins with butter spray.
• Ball up the cookie dough as though you are making cookies.
• Press enough dough into each tin to fill about half way.
• Bake according to cookie dough instructions.
• The cookies will puff up and fill the muffin tin.
• As soon as the cookies are done, take the tin out of the oven and press an unwrapped Reese's Cup into the center of each tin. This will create a peanut butter cookie crust around the cup.
• Let them set for a couple of minutes, while the chocolate and peanut butter melt.
• Get a nice tall glass of milk and enjoy this delicious treat!
