Peanut Butter Cup Tarts

These cookies are SOOO easy and so good!! Every time I make them, they are gone before I know it. These are a great treat for when you need something quick to take with you to share!

I don't use store bought cookie dough very often, but the peanut butter cup candies are what make these cookies so good, so the store bought dough works just fine.

Peanut Butter Cup Tarts

Refrigerated cookie dough (I use Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter)
24 Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Spray a mini-muffin thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray (I like the Pam for Baking)
Put 1 tablespoon of dough in each muffin cup.
Bake for 8-9 minutes. (They will look like they are not quite done).
Immediately push a peanut butter cup into the center of each one.
Let cool completely before removing from pan.


First of all, you can buy a roll of cookie dough, but if you just divide it into 24 pieces and put it in the muffin cups, it will be too much and you will have a hard time getting them out of the pan. Just trust me. I like to buy the tub, and then I have enough for a couple of batches. But either will be fine. To measure out the perfect amount, I use my Pampered Chef small cookie scoop. If you don't have that, just use a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon.

Make sure you have all your peanut butter cups unwrapped and ready to go because you need to push them in IMMEDIATELY when you take them out of the oven. You are going to want to eat one right away, but I promise you, let them cool all the way and they are so much better.

Enjoy this easy, sweet treat!!!
