Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 1 1/3 cup flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1–2 tbsp milk, if needed
- 48 mini chocolate-covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tsp shortening
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease mini muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients together, then add peanut butter, butter, and egg with an electric mixer on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until dough forms; if needed, add 1-2 tbsp milk.
- Shape dough into 1-in balls; place in muffin cups. Press 1 peanut butter cup into each ball.
- Bake 13-18 minutes or until dough is set and golden brown around the edges of candy. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- In a small microwavable bowl, microwave glaze ingredients on High 45-60 seconds, stirring once halfway through, until melted. If necessary, continue to microwave on High in 15-second increments, stirring until smooth. Drizzle glaze evenly over cooled cookies.
Notes
Place your bag of mini Reeses cups in the freezer for 5-10 minutes so they are easier to unwrap when you get to that part!
These cookie cups freeze really well, so make a few batches, and freeze in storage containers until you need them for your next Holiday party. Or save for a special pick-me-up in the gloomy days of winter!
