Sugar-cookie Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup

This is actually two different recipes that I found, and decided to hash together; you can substitute the Sugar-cookie recipe with any hard cookie recipe that you might like better.

In medium bowl, stir together 2 3/4 Cups flower, 1 Teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 Teaspoon salt; set aside. Then in a large bowl, cream together 1 1/4 Cup butter and 2 Cups sugar until light an fluffy; beat in your 2 eggs one at a time, then add 2 Teaspoons vanilla. Once that’s done gradually stir in dry ingredients until just blended, we found that it was easier to mix that part with a spatula (for those who don’t have a proper mixer, ours is broken).

In small bowl, combine 1 Cup peanut butter, 4 1/2 Teaspoons butter, 1/2 Cup sugar, and 1/2 Teaspoon salt until smooth

Place a small amount of Sugar-cookie dough into mini cupcake pan

Use another mini cupcake pan to press dough into bowl shapes; leave pan on and bake for 8-10 minutes, until lightly browned on edges; cool for 5 minutes

Carefully pull pans apart, then pull cookie bowls out

Pour small amount of melted chocolate inside bowls, coating the entire inside

Add a little of your Reese’s peanut butter mixture into bottom; smooth flat (this picture is before I smoothed the peanut butter mixture flat) We also placed the peanut butter mixture inside a sandwich bag and cut a small hole in the corner to make it easier to put into center without making a big mess

Pour more melted chocolate on top

Let sit in fridge or freezer till the chocolate is hard; then serve
