Servings: 4 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 beaten egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup flour sifted
- 1 box Reese's Piece's
- 8 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- In the bowl of a stand mixture, cream the shortening. Gradually add both sugars and cream well. Next, add egg, vanilla, and peanut butter. Combine well.
- In a medium bowl, sift baking soda, salt, and flour together. Add to creamed mixture.
- Add Reese's Pieces. Start with half of the box and continue to add based on your judgement.
- Roll dough into 4 large balls.
- To stuff the cookies, press the center of the dough balls with your thumb so you can put two, stacked Reese's inside. Then, form a ball again to cover the exposed Reese's cups. Make sure you create the dough balls in your hand and flatten the bottom when you place them on the cookie sheet.
- Once all dough balls are stuffed, place in the oven for 18-20 minutes. Cut one cookie in half to make sure they are fully cooked.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
