"A little peanut butter cookie with miniature Reese's Peanut Butter cups in the middle of them. Very easy to make, but a small recipe. They go quick so you might want to double it."

Excellent! I was out of Reese's mini peanut butter cups so I just made the cookies without them, and they were still very good.

Although I haven't yet tried your recipe, I have made similar using readymade cookie dough. I was posting more for a tip. Before you put the cookies in the oven, or while they are in, UNWRAP all of the mini PBcups to have them ready to go. You need to push them in right away while the cookie is still soft. I have also used choc chip cookie dough with great results!
