We loved these! My teenage son asked to take them to a class party at school! Was out of shortening so subbed all butter, they spread a little but tasted great. My daughter suggested rolling the peanut butter cup in the dough which worked awesome, will continue to do it that way from now on.

SO good! These were very simple to make and I especially appreciated that no mini muffin tin was required (as in many similar recipes.) These were just fantastic and were gone in a flash. They are soft and chewy with just the right amount of peanut butter flavor. I'll be making these again for Christmas!

Great idea, but the dough spreads to much. Needs more flour or to be refrigerated?

Great recipe! I used the exact ingredients, but I used a mini muffin tin with mini cupcake wrappers. Without the wrappers, I found the cookies stuck in the pan.

These cookies tasted to much like the shortening. I will not make these again.

WOW! These were amazing. I added some chocolate and peanut butter chips. I live in Colorado so it's hard to find a recipe that will keep the cookies thick and chewy, not thin and brittle. Boyfriend says that these are one of the best cookies i've ever made. It's a keeper!

Great cookies. I hesitated making this kind because they usually call for a special pan which I don't have. We actually liked these better than the ones made in the "special" pan because they weren't as thick a cookie. They were the first to go at our house over the holidays.

Good and easy. I dropped the dough into the sugar and then placed the dough into my mini-muffin tins. I used my 2 teaspoon cookie dropper (like an ice cream scoop). The size was perfect and the peanut butter cups were wrapped by the cookie when I pushed them in after the cookies baked. They went fast!

This will be the third Christmas now that I've made these cookies to give to friends, family and neighbors. My husband prefers to eat them fresh out of the oven and my neighbors can't eat enough of them. I also put them in the small muffin tins and they are so easy to make and the kids love to help.

Tender Peanut Butter Cookie. I made these in minature muffin tins, instead of a cookie sheet, baking time is the same. That way, the peanut butter cups are enrobed by the cookie and the cup is less likely to "fall off".

This recipe is now a traditon in our family for Christmas. I put tablespoon size balls into mini muffin tins and bake. When I remove them from the oven I push the peanut butter cup into the ball and it forms a tart-shaped cookie. Make sure that the cookies are cooled before removing from the tins. This is now my family's favorite Christmas cookie.
