I love having my boys help out in the kitchen, and these cookie cups are the perfect recipe for little fingers.  The peanut butter cookie dough consists of only 3 ingredients and doesn’t even require a mixer, just a bowl and spoon.  Get those little ones in the kitchen and have fun making these tasty treats!

Peanut Butter Cup Surprise Cookies

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

12 mini Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped

36 mini marshmallows

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

2-3 tablespoons heavy cream

1/4 cup mini M&Ms

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place peanut butter, sugar and egg into a large bowl and mix until well combined. Scoop dough evenly into a 12-count mini cheesecake pan or mini muffin pan. Cook for 13-15 minutes until almost done. Remove from oven and press a peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie until flush with cookie top. Top each cookie with 3 mini marshmallows and return to oven for 2-3 more minutes or until marshmallows are puffed. Remove and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.

2. Place chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until melted smooth. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream until silky and smooth. You can return back to microwave for 15 seconds to get a thinner consistency. Spoon chocolate over top of puffed marshmallows and sprinkle with mini M&M’s.

Makes 12 cookie cup.
