PARTY PEANUT BUTTER CUP COOKIES



Party Peanut Butter Cup Cookies image

Christmas would not quite be Christmas without these cookies ... just ask my kids. The combination of a peanut butter cookie on the outside with a chocolate covered Reese's minature peanut butter cup pushed into the cookie after baking, is unbeatable. They also look like they were harder to make than they really are.

Provided by Donna Matthews

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 24-48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter (or margarine)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
24 -36 miniature peanut butter cups

Steps:

  • Cream butter and peanut butter with sugars and vanilla.
  • Add egg and beat.
  • Add dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Form small balls of dough about the size of a small walnut.
  • Note: I use my Pampered Chef cookie scoops to measure out 1 teaspoon or 2 teaspoon balls, depending on whether I want a greater yield or a fancier looking cookie.
  • Using mini muffin pans(each cup about 1 1/2 inches in diameter), place 1 ball in each muffin cup.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes (or 335 convection for 10 minutes).
  • While the cookie balls are baking, unwrap the candies completely.
  • As soon as the cookies come out of the oven (they will be very soft at this point), push a candy into the center of each ball, making the cookie into acup that surrounds the candy but does not cover it.
  • Note: To make the candies easier to push into the hot cookie, I usually keep the unwrapped candies on a plate in the refrigerator until I am ready to insert them.
  • Let cookies cool in pan until they are set enough to lift out without breaking.

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE CUPS



Peanut butter cookie cups image

Pair the winning combination of peanut butter and dark chocolate in these cookie cups. They're perfect for a picnic or pick-me-up treat for the whole family

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dessert

Time 43m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

175g butter, softened
200g light brown soft sugar
100g golden caster sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
250g plain flour
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
150g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids)
240g peanut or almond butter

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Tip the butter, sugars and vanilla into a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Add the flour, bicarb and a pinch of salt, and mix everything together with a spatula.
  • Break off golf-ball-sized lumps of dough (about 65g each) and press into the holes of a 12-hole muffin tin, ensuring it comes up the sides - if you're using a deep muffin tin, the dough should come about halfway up the side of each hole. Bake for 15 mins until golden. The dough will sink as it bakes, so leave until cool enough to handle, then press it up the sides of the holes again. Leave to cool completely.
  • Break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and melt until smooth in the microwave in 20-second bursts, or set over a pan of barely simmering water ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Remove the cookie cups from the tin (you may need a cutlery knife to help you do this). Spoon 1 tsp nut butter into the centre of each, then cover with the melted chocolate. Leave to cool until the chocolate sets, about 1 hr. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter cups for the best flavor.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them.
  • For a fun twist, try using different types of peanut butter cups, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate.
  • You can also add other mix-ins to the cookies, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter cup cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet snack, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
