My Valentine and I love peanut butter treats. So yesterday I whipped up a batch of these awesome cookies. They have become our favorite peanut butter cookie. Not only is it a great cookie but you put a Reese's peanut butter cup in the middle to make it even better!
They are super easy and what I love is that you put then in muffin tins. So when you press the Reese's cup into them they look like little tarts.
This recipe is from allrecipes.com if you haven't visited that site it is wonderful for all your cooking and baking needs.If you heart peanut butter like we do you will love these!
