Peanut Butter Meltaway Cookies [Tasty Tuesday]

If that title didn't reel you in, I don't know what will!  These cookies are something I whipped up when I was craving dessert and I didn't have much in the pantry.  They're easy peasy and super delicious!

Like I said, I didn't have much in my pantry so......I used bag cookie mix.  Go ahead and judge away, I never said I was Buddy Valastro!  If you want to out do me and need a good recipe for homemade peanut butter cookies, please try these pudding cookies!  You won't be disappointed!

Peanut Butter Meltaways

What You Need: 
peanut butter cookie mix (1 bag, I used Betty Crocker)
canola/vegetable oil (my bag called for 2 tbsp)
water
extra peanut butter (optional)
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures 

How to Make:
Preheat your oven to 375° and spray your mini muffin tin with nonstick baking spray.

Prepare your cookies according to the directions on the package.  I added about 1/2 cup of extra peanut butter.  It's totally optional but I think it makes the bag cookies taste just a smidgen better! 

Using a cookie scoop, fill each section of your baking tray with cookie dough.  {I filled my tray of 24 and had some dough left over.  Make a few traditional peanut butter cookies to pack in lunches!}

Stick your cookies in the oven for 5 minutes.  While they're baking, unwrap your Reese's.  Go ahead and eat a few because you only need 24!

Take your cookies out of the oven and quickly press a peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie.  Once you have done this to every cookie, stick them back in the oven for about 3 minutes. 

When you get your cookies out, the chocolate will be melted.  Let them cool (in the pan) on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.  Finally, enjoy with a tall glass of milk!
