Made with just two ingredients and ready in about 17 minutes, these bite-sized treats combine soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies with creamy Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Ingredients
- 12 refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough balls (about 1–2 tablespoons each)
- 12 bite-sized Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the temperature listed on your refrigerated cookie dough package.
- Lightly grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or butter.
- Place one spoonful of chocolate chip cookie dough into each mini muffin cup.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or follow the package baking instructions, until the cookies are lightly golden.
- Remove the pan from the oven and immediately press one mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup into the center of each warm cookie.
- Allow the cookie bites to cool in the pan for several minutes so the chocolate and peanut butter can settle.
- Carefully remove the bites from the muffin pan and transfer them to a serving plate.
- Serve warm for a soft, gooey center or allow them to cool completely for a firmer treat.
