This is definitely a 5 star recipe because of ease of preparation and taste. I used the pre-scored, square chocolate chunk cookie dough. These were the perfect size to go in the mini-muffin pan. You don't have to shape it into a ball or anything--just break off a piece and stick it in the pan. Before placing cookies in pan, I also lightly sprayed my muffin pan with Pam to make it easier to get the cookies out. After baking and placing candy in the center of each cookie, I cooled them in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. I used a mixture of Reese's mini peanut butter cups, Rolos, and Hershey kisses to put in the center of the baked cookies. All of them were yummy! My kids and husband loved them and so I will be making them again. They are very pretty too. Thanks, Karen!

These look and taste so fancy for being so ridiculously easy. I used chocolate chip cookie dough (I wanted to try peanut butter too, but the store didn't have any). They did come out nearly raw on the first try but I just stuck them back in for a couple more minutes. I actually ended up cooking them for the full time recommended on the package (peanut butter cups and all) and just handled gently and didn't set anything on top of them until the chocolate solidified again. These were pretty much inhaled at my Christmas party at work. I even had a friend there who was trying to convince everyone else that they were terrible so he could have them all to himself until I promised to bring some more from home just for him.

I have made these since I was a kid! I love them. Everytime I make them people are excited. The perfect mix of peanut butter and chocolate. You just can't go wrong. I have to make them for every holiday so I always do some kind of decoration to dress them up. I just made these to send out for the holidays and while the cups were a little melty I shook some Christmas sprinkles on.

These were delicious (how could they not be, with PB cups in chocolate chip cookie dough!) but a little rich for me. The recipe is super easy but the cooking time didn't work at all. I had to toss my first batch because the cookies were still raw. I used chocolate chip cookie dough which is supposed to bake for 10-14 minutes. I left it in for 9 minutes per the recipe, put in the PB cups, and then let them cool. When I tried to get them out, the cookie dough was still raw and I ended up having to scoop each one out with a spoon — it was a gloppy mess. I tested a couple more batches and settled on baking the cookie dough for 16 minutes (2 minutes MORE than the package directions). The cookie dough can't spread out like regular cookies, so it takes even longer to cook than normal. I also had to cool each batch in the fridge for 15 minutes to get the cookies to come cleanly out of the pan (I also sprayed the pan with Pam). All in all, they took a long to make, what with the baking and cooling time (since I only have one mini muffin pan) but I know they'll be a big hit with my family.

I have made these for years and my family and friends adore them. I make my own peanut butter cookie dough and use a Pampered Chef small cookie scoop to make balls. I used pan-spray to spray the pans for easy removal. I press the peanut butter cups into the raw cookie dough and bake according to the cookie recipe directions. Cool well before removing from pan. Also, I have discovered that the depth of the mini-muffin pans can vary and the deeper wells work better.

These are an easy little treat. I did have more trouble removing the tarts from the muffin pan than I expected. The original recipe that I tried suggested refrigerating the cookies after cooling in order to pull the tarts out from the pan. This tip really does make it easier. I have a similar recipe posted (Cookie Kisses), but the peanut butter is a different treat.

Yum yum yum! Sooo good and so simple! I used break and bake sugar cookie dough because that's all the store had. It worked well! The trickiest part (for me) was getting them out of the pan. The 2nd time I made them I sprayed it well with Pam and they came out easier. Thanks to Karen (and Stormy!))

These are so easy, cute and delicious. They are really nice for times you need to come up with something "homemade", but really do not have the time. I have made them for my son's class for Valentine's Day using the little peanut butter filled chocolate hearts and they were cute, too.
