Chocolate Peanut Buttercup Cookies

Recipe from the kitchen of Heather Czarny.  During the summer of 2010, my sister Chelsey kept telling my friend Heather not to come over unless she brought these cookies. We had them for the first time at my softball banquet freshman year (2004). Finally, with less than a week of summer left, Heather came over and we made Chelsey the cookies she has been waiting for. They were worth the wait.

1 C. Hershey’s semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 squares unsweetened baking chocolate
1 C. sugar
1/2 C. Crisco
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 C. + 2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
36 Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
1 C. Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips

  • Heat oven: 350 Degrees
  • Combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsweetened baking squares in bowl. Melt in microwave.
  • Combine sugar and Crisco in another bowl. Beat in eggs, salt, and vanilla. Add chocolate
  • Stir in flour and baking soda
  • Roll into balls
  • Cook 8-10 minutes
  • Take out and immediately put in Reese’s cups in center of cookie.

Drizzle:
Put the Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips in freezer zip-lock bag and keep in one corner of the bag. Melt in microwave. Cut off part of corner and drizzle over cookies once cookies have cooled. Let dry.
