Description
Using mini Reeses peanut butter cups & adorable heart sprinkles, these cookies are perfect for office Valentines treats, school parties, or just as a fun baking activity to make with the kids!
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- Topping:
- 30 Miniature Reeses Peanut Butter Cups (not the tiny “mini” ones)
- Jumbo Heart Sprinkles
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds.
2. Add in vanilla extract and egg and continue to mix for 10 seconds.
3. Add baking soda and mix on low speed for 10 seconds. Add flour and continue mixing until all is incorporated.
4. Scoop and roll dough into 1 tablespoon-sized balls and place each into a greased mini muffin tin.
5. Bake at 350℉ for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press one mini Reeses peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie.
6. After a few minutes, once the chocolate begins to melt, gently place a heart sprinkle onto the top of each one.
7. Place the pan in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to help the chocolate re-harden.
8. Allow to cool before removing cookies from the pan. Use the tip of a spoon to assist with easy removal.
9. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Be sure to press the Reeses cup into the cookie immediately after baking for best results.
Add the heart sprinkle while chocolate is still soft so it adheres easily.
Chill the cookies briefly in the fridge to set the chocolate before serving.
These freeze beautifully—just thaw at room temperature before serving.
Perfect for Valentine’s parties, gifts, or festive family fun!
