Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 chocolate chip cookie dough balls
- 12 bite-sized Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
Preparation Ingredients:
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing
Serving Suggestion:
- Optional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the mini muffin pan by lightly coating each cavity with cooking spray, ensuring even coverage for easy removal of the cookie bites.
- Carefully distribute small, uniform portions of cookie dough into each compartment of the muffin pan, filling them approximately two-thirds full to allow room for expansion during baking.
- Transfer the prepared pan to the preheated oven set at 350°F, positioning it on the center rack for consistent heat distribution.
- Bake the cookie dough for 10-12 minutes, monitoring the edges for a light golden-brown coloration that indicates proper doneness.
- Immediately after removing the pan from the oven, gently press a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup into the center of each warm cookie bite, allowing the residual heat to slightly melt the chocolate.
- Allow the cookie bites to rest in the pan for 3-5 minutes, which helps them set and prevents breaking when removing from the muffin compartments.
- Carefully transfer the cooled cookie bites to a serving platter, creating an inviting display of chocolate and peanut butter treats ready to be enjoyed.
Notes
- Experiment with different cookie dough varieties like chocolate chip or sugar cookie for unique flavor combinations.
- Press the Reese’s cup gently into the warm cookie to create a perfect indentation without breaking the chocolate.
- Refrigerate the cookie bites for a firmer texture and more intense chocolate-peanut butter flavor blend.
- Use mini Reese’s cups for bite-sized treats or larger cups for a more substantial dessert option.
