Peanut Butter Topping

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Add the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Cream together.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
4. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt and mix until just combined.
5. Chop the entire bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Add about 1 cup to the dough and mix to combine.
6. Scoop the batter into 8 equally sized cookies. Use your hands to roll into balls.
7. Press down slightly with the palm of your hand to flatten to about 3/4-inches thick. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
8. Let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
9. Once cool, make the peanut butter topping. Add the Reese’s peanut butter chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments until melted and smooth, stirring in between.
10. Add a spoonful of the peanut butter mixture to the top of each cookie and use the back of the spoon to spread around.
11. Top with the remaining chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Serve warm and enjoy!
12. Store any leftovers in an airtight container on the counter. Heat in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften the peanut butter topping before eating leftovers.
