Reese's Cookies

Submitted by Lorraine of AZ

"These cookies have this name because their taste will remind you of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. But these cookies are baked. They are unusual cookies in that they do not have any flour."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Yields: 30 cookies

ingredients

• 236.59 ml peanut butter
• 236.59 ml sugar
• 1 egg
• 340.19 g package Hershey chocolate kisses or 340.19 g package milk chocolate stars

directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix the peanut butter, sugar, and egg together until well blended.
3. Form this mixture into one-inch balls and arrange on a greased cookie sheet.
4. Press a Hershey's kiss or chocolate star into the top of each cookie, flattening the cookie as you do so. Cracks will appear around the edges of the cookies, but this is all right.
5. Bake in your preheated oven for 5 minutes only.

These cookies were fast, easy and a huge hit at home and at work! I opted to us mini Reese's peanut butter cups instead of Hershey's kisses and couldn't have been happier. I put the cups face down into the cookie to keep them from melting and sliding off the cookie. They don't look as pretty as the kisses but they were twice as big a hit in our house. I took some to work and they didn't even last 5 min.! I will be making these again very soon. Thanks for the great recipe.

SUPER easy and yummy!! I've made them twice and they taste better when made with Jiff than with a store brand peanut butter. Thanks sooo much for sharing!!

Using a round tablespoon I got 15 cookies out of this. Living in high altitude mine didn't crack - I took them out a tad early to keep them chewy. I've made this recipe many times now - hubby says they're the 2nd best I've ever made. On this batch I did half chocolate kisses and half "hugs". Oh - I also use natural peanut butter so that may make a difference in how they bake up as far as the "cracks around the edges" go. I also only had a duck egg to use, which is bigger than the usual chicken egg. It goes to show, even with adjustments these come out wonderful!

Eliminate the Hershey's kisses and make these within mini choco chips. Flatten like regular peanut butter cookies (I use two forks, keeping the one that I am NOT using in a glass of ice water). I use my small cookie scoop for these and it makes 3 dozen cookies. These freeze exceptionally well RAW and then take out what I need to bake a few at a time (I have a convection oven). Better portion control than having 3 dozen baked peanut butter cookies in the house. Am also going to try this with almond butter.
