Any peanut butter lover would admit that they have committed the spoon-to-peanut butter jar crime at some point in their peanut butter craving fiasco. I'm definitely guilty of this desperate act to gain satisfaction once or twice...a week ;). But there are times when I'll hold back and take the time to bake up a batch of peanut butter thumbprints. These, without a doubt, have been made countless times by hundreds of bakers across the globe. And why not?! They are so simple to make and will leave smiles on your taste testers faces for days!
There are just a few easy steps to follow before you can dive in. Step one, unwrap 24-36 Reese's peanut butter cups. Step two make a peanut butter cookie recipe. By all means do this step from scratch! I'm just lazy and want these in my belly faster, so I use a small pouch of Betty Crocker's peanut butter cookie mix. Now, just place about a tablespoon of batter into each spot in your mini muffin tin and bake according to the instructions in your recipe or pouch mix.
Once your cookies drops are finished, immediately push a peanut butter cup in the middle of each. The dough will wrap itself up and around the sides of the cup, creating a delicious nest for your chocolate and peanut butter confection.
Allow these to cool before popping them out of the tins and into your mouth =). Make sure to save some for your fellow peanut butter lovers!
