  • 2 large Eggs
  • 7.6 ounces Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Minis (or more if you're feeling wild)

Instructions

  • Stir in Reese's Minis with large wooden spoon.
  • Cover dough and chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.

  • Roll cookie dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon sized rounded balls and transfer to cookie sheet.

Notes

*You can find Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Minis at Walmart, Target or on Amazon.
If you cannot locate any of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Minis, you can substitute 1 1/4 cups of other chopped smaller sized Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
*When it comes to Cake Mix Cookies, salted or unsalted butter can be used, as the cake mix will have a little salt in it.  However, I've found that salted butter will result in superior flavor.

        Hi Samantha ~ no… you will not add any water. Chill the dough in the refrigerator at least 15 minutes prior to baking. Hope that helps! 😉

      Just made these and they are huuuuge! And delicious!! :-). I think I need to bake them a little longer next time because they turned out a little underdone (I baked them about 12 minutes, but they were big so more time makes sense). Thanks for sharing such a yummy & easy recipe!
