I think it’s safe to say our family is known for a few things. At the top of the list- baking and sports.Spending time together in the kitchen is a weekly event here in our household. My kids have turned into measuring and mixing champs. To combine those two loves and to get ready for the upcoming college basketball season, we whipped up these Double Dribble Peanut Butter Cups as a part of the REESE’S® Baking Bracket Challenge. We think they are competition worthy and hope you do too!
When I was young my Mom had sliced fruit waiting for us when we got home from school. She had no idea then that someday all three of us (my sister, brother and I) would refer to her fruit and how it made us know that she was there for us. It sounds so silly but really, it was one of the ways she showed her love to us. I’m not the best fruit, cutter upper. BUT I do make time to cook and bake with my kids in the kitchen. I hope that our baking time is what the sliced fruit was to us. I hope my kids remember learning and spending time with me (and not so much of the times when I get upset for cracked egg shells in batter- ahem).
So when I was given the chance to work with REESE’S to bring our family together in the kitchen, it was a no brainer. YES! After we made these cookies, we shared them with friends for game night and they gave them two thumbs WAY up. It was so fun to hear them ohhh and ahhh over this recipe. REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cups make these rich and wonderful. They are so good, they make you lose your focus and double dribble. (wink, wink)
Here’s how to make Double Dribble Peanut Butter Cup Cookies:
Double Dribble Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 3 ½ c flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 c butter softened (NOT melted)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Sift together dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda) and set aside.
- Cream together softened butter, sugars and peanut butter until fluffy.
- Beat in eggs, vanilla and milk.
- Slowly add in dry ingredients until mixed well.
- Shape into small balls, and put each ball into ungreased mini muffin tin.
- Bake at 375 for approximately 8 minutes. Do NOT overbake.

- Carefully remove from the muffin tin and serve. These cookies go perfectly with a nice glass of milk!
Notes
Nutrition
A couple notes- this makes a ton of cookies. You can half it for just your family if you like. One of the biggest things for me when baking any cookies is to make sure to not overbake them. I watch them carefully to make sure they are golden and then take them out immediately and add the peanut butter cups to them.

My grandmother used to make these without muffin tins. Shaped them into balls, then pushed in a home made peanut butter ball dipped in dark chocolate. Needless to say, I use dark peanut butter cups and muffin tins now, but still the same soft cookie.
