Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Cupcakes
When I was a young and inexperienced baker trying to make up recipes, I didn’t have much success. I mean, I was 15. The process of creaming butter with sugar was a completely terrifying prospect. And whipping egg whites until stiff peaks form? I still remember doing it by hand one day. It worked, but I was traumatized.
Now, many years and one Kitchen Aid mixer later, I am much wiser. But I still remember fondly the recipes that were not epic fails when I was just starting out. And one in particular that I kept making time and time again were these cookie cupcakes. Because they worked. And because they were actually delicious.
These are peanut buttery without being too sweet or over-the-top intense. They remind me of classic peanut butter cookies: same flavor, same happy nostalgic feel, same need for the glass of milk. But there’s more in each serving, more to bite into. The middle is nice and soft while the edges are chewy. And best of all, they have that Reese’s cup in the middle.
Dipped Oreos – well thanks for making Oreos even more addicting and poppable. These are so fun and festive! The cookies, cream, and frosting are the trifecta of a perfect treat!

Thanks, Manali! I’m always festive around Thanksgiving.
I would’ve loved to have a teacher like you in high school, MIr! I’m sure all of your students love your tasty treats. And I’m loving these pumpkin spice oreos! I loved your version before, and these sound just as good. I’m a sucker for anything with white chocolate, and of course, pumpkin!

I bribe them with sugar, Gayle! Just kidding. Kind of. 🙂
Haha, I was wondering if you were going to use these pumpkin spice oreos in something! I’m not usually a big oreo fan (I know, it is kinda crazy haha) but I think I could really get on board with these ones!

Seriously, it was like the wind blew and they were gone. Too funny, Michele!
Mir, I like these even better than your previous ones… White chocolate is one of my favorites and the little candy pumpkin on top is irresistible! I totally know what you’re saying about teens and food; I have two at home… Yeah for not having to pay bakery prices for something that can easily be made at home!

Thanks, Heather! Teens are scary with food. They eat so much so fast!
Mmmm, dipped oreos are so good. I buy them every time I’m in the States cause they aren’t in Canada. I don’t know why it never occurred to me to just dip some oreos. Maybe that’s a good thing. I don’t need to eat more of those! 🙂

Ha! I’m sorry to hear they don’t have them in Canada. But maybe that is a good thing. At a store called Trader Joe’s here in the US, they sell different flavors very inexpensively at the holidays. So good!
