Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies – Ree Drummond

These chocolate peanut butter cup cookies only require two ingredients and are probably the easiest cookie you will ever make. All you need is store-bought cookie dough and Reese’s peanut butter cups to make these. 

I’m sure a lot of you have seen these cookies before at Holiday events or on some Christmas cookie platter.  It’s a really fun recipe to make and even kids could do this. They take no time at all to prep. It doesn’t matter if the cookies come out perfect at the end because you just stick a Reese’s cup in them anyways when they come out warm.

While the dough is still warm, push a peanut butter cup into each muffin cup and let cool in the pan. When the cookies are cool, use a spoon to remove them.
