• 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.

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUP COOKIES

Steps:

• The reason I did not specify how much sugar cookie dough, is because this recipe makes a million cookies, no matter which sugar cookie recipe you use.
• The amount of cookies you get really depends on how many peanut butter cups you buy.
• Pre-heat oven to 350F degrees.
• Press a small amount of dough on bottom and sides of a mini muffin pan.
• Don't make it too thin or it will be difficult to pop them out.
• Don't make them too thick or the cookie will not be a"bowl".
• It is best to do a practice run with your first batch to see which thickness works best.
• Try a few thicknesses in one pan.
• After you have pressed dough onto the sides and bottom of mini muffin pan, bake at 350 for about 10 minutes.
• While baking, start unwrapping peanut butter cups.
• YOU NEED TO WORK FAST NOW!
• QUICKLY put one peanut butter cup into each sugar cookie bowl.
• After you are done, the chocolate will be slightly melted around the edges.
• Run a knife, or a chopstick (something skinny) around the edge of each peanut butter cup to make the ridges disapear.
• This makes them look much nicer.
• Remove from pan using a butter knife to"pop" them out after they have cooled for about 5 minutes.
• Place cookies on a paper bag.
• When cooled, drizzle with melted semi-sweet chips.

PEANUT BUTTER CUP COOKIES

Steps:

• To make the cookie dough: Whisk together the granulated sugar, egg and butter in a bowl. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking soda and salt together, then add the contents of the other bowl, stirring well with a wooden spoon or using your hands to make a dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge until ready to use.
• To make the peanut butter cups: Bring a small pot of water to a boil and place a heatproof mixing bowl over it to create a double boiler. Turn the heat off, then add the chocolate and milk to the bowl. Allow to sit for 2 minutes before mixing with a rubber spatula to combine and form a smooth chocolate mixture.
• In a small bowl, use a fork or whisk to combine the peanut butter and confectioners' sugar.
• Dollop small circles of the chocolate mixture into individual cups of a muffin tin or on a sheet pan, until you use about half of the chocolate mixture. Drop a small dollop of the peanut butter mixture onto each chocolate dollop, then cover the peanut butter mixture with the remaining chocolate mixture. Refrigerate or freeze the peanut butter cups until they are firm and set.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and make Ping-pong ball-size cookies. Evenly space them on a sheet tray, pressing each to flatten slightly. Press a peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie. If you have sea salt, sprinkle a bit over each.
• Bake for about 8 minutes before checking your progress. Rotate the pan if necessary at this point, then remove from the oven when the edges of the cookies are brown and begin to form creases, usually about 10 minutes total is perfect, but some ovens run hotter than others.
