Need a sweet treat for a holiday gathering this weekend? These little peanut butter cups are quick, easy and yummy. Simply pick up a roll of peanut butter cookie dough. Cut off a small amount of dough and place in a greased mini muffin pan (fill each about half-way with dough). Bake at temperature indicated on package for about 8 minutes or until a toothpick poked in each is clean. Immediately after removing from oven, press a peanut butter cup into each middle. Add a few seasonal sprinkles at this point if desired. Allow to cool for a few minutes. Using a knife, gently pry the cookies from the pan and allow them to cool completely on a rack. Enjoy!

These look soo good. My husband loves Peanut Butter Cups. I will have to try this.
Are these truely as good as the from scatch ones?
Not quite - but they do come close (and they take a lot less time!)
We made these...as you could probably tell from the pictures I posted. My daughter made this particular recipe. Our batch whips up pretty quickly...although definitely not as quickly as with the refrigerated dough. But we didn't decorate ours as prettily as you did yours. The little holiday decorations add a nice touch.
I have a friend who makes this cookie with a recipe that uses no flour. They are mostly sugar and peanut butter (and I don't remember what else), but there is absolutely no flour in them. Yes, they are delish!! But no flour seems SO strange, doesn't it?
My mother-in-law makes these cookies in bulk for the grandkids and others. If there is a difference between the "from scratch" ones and her "shortcut" ones -- my kids can't tell the difference (this cookie is all about the Reese's peanutbutter cup anyway -- don't you think).
