Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the dough into 10 even slices.
Flatten each slice and place one peanut butter cup in the center.
Wrap the dough around the peanut butter cup until it’s fully covered.
Place the cookies on the baking sheet, leaving at least one inch of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
FAQ
Can I use homemade cookie dough instead of premade?
Absolutely! Homemade cookie dough works great—just make sure it’s sturdy enough to wrap around the Reese’s cups. It will also be easier if you roll the cookie dough into a log and chill so it can be easily sliced.
Do I need to chill the homemade dough before baking?
Chilling the dough for 15-20 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent spreading.
Do I have to use chocolate chip cookie dough?
No! You can use whichever premade cookie dough you like, like sugar cookie dough or even peanut butter cookie dough.
What size Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups should I use?
The regular-sized cups work best, but you can use mini cups for smaller cookies or even try the big cups if you’re feeling adventurous!
How should I store these stuffed cookies?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer-lasting peanut butter bliss.
