Notes

Don't Over-Bake: It's important to not over bake your cookies. When you remove your cookie, they might not look done but they will continue to cook on the pan.
Don't Over-Mix: Over mixing your cookies they could come out of the oven flat. Make sure to mix until just combined.
Freeze the peanut butter cups for 10 minutes before pressing them into the cookies. This keeps them from melting too quickly.
Don’t remove the cookies from the pan until fully cooled or they may break apart.
Swap the classic Reese’s cups for seasonal shapes or flavored cups for a fun twist.
