Peanut Butter Cookie Cups
I hope you like peanuts because today we have a whole lotta peanuts going on! My latest cookie cup creation are these sweet delights: Peanut Butter Cookie Cups.
The cup is a moist and chewy peanut butter cookie. I melted some Reese peanut butter chips at the bottom of each cup to take this dessert to a whole new level. And does it ever soar!
The filling is creamy and sweet made with a combination of cream cheese, smooth peanut butter and icing sugar (otherwise known as powdered sugar). I finished it off with a couple Reese peanut butter chips on top. You could also be bold and put peanuts, if you wish. How daring of you!
This batch did not last long. No one could resist, myself included!
Are you a peanut fan?
