Transform your kitchen into a candy shop with these spectacular Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 24 miniature Reese's peanut butter cups, unwrapped and frozen
  • ½ cup peanut butter chips
  • Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Directions:

  1. Place unwrapped miniature Reese's cups in the freezer at least 2 hours before baking (preferably overnight). This prevents them from melting too quickly during baking.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips and the peanut butter chips.
  8. Using a cookie scoop, place approximately 1 ½ tablespoons of dough into each muffin cup. The cups should be about ⅔ full.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and tops are lightly golden.
  10. Remove from oven and immediately press a frozen Reese's peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie cup. The edges will crack slightly - this is normal and adds to the rustic appearance.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips over the tops while still hot, allowing them to melt slightly. If desired, sprinkle with a tiny pinch of sea salt.
  12. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully run a knife around the edges and remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ready to Indulge!

These Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites offer an incredible combination of flavors that will satisfy any sweet craving. Each bite delivers the perfect balance of cookie and candy.

Storage Solutions:

Notes

  • Freezing the Reese's cups is crucial - don't skip this step! It prevents them from completely melting into the cookie.
  • For best results, use a non-stick mini muffin pan. If your pan isn't non-stick, consider using paper liners.
  • These cookie bites can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Try different mix-ins such as chopped pretzels, toffee bits, or crushed Oreos for variety.
  • For an extra-special presentation, drizzle cooled cookie bites with melted chocolate and peanut butter.
  • The cookie dough can be prepared up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated until ready to bake.
