Reese Cup Cookie Bars

Reese Cup Cookie Bars

Based on the ingredients, this recipe seems almost "too easy" to warrant putting on here, but these are phenomenal and deserve to be recognized. The first time I tried these, I fell madly in love with them and knew that I just had to track down the baker of this wonderful creation and somehow leave that day with the recipe. Little did I know they would require so little work! If you love the peanut butter-chocolate combination that so many people go wild for, combined with the soft, gooey flavor of chocolate chip cookies, gives these easy - but oh so delicious - cookie bars a try.

2 packages Chocolate Chip cookie mix
1 package Peanut Butter cookie mix
24-36 Miniature Reese Peanut Butter Cups
Eggs, oil, and butter as required by cookie mixes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare all three cookie mixes together in one large bowl, adding appropriate ingredients according to the directions on the packages.
Spread cookie dough in a 13x9 pan (for thicker bars) or a jelly roll pan (for slightly thinner, but still thick, bars).
Bake for approximately 35 minutes (less for jelly roll bars) or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the cookie bars are in the oven, unwrap at least 24 miniature peanut butter cups (I use 24 for a 13x9 pan, but use more for a jelly roll pans). Immediately after taking the pan out of the oven, press peanut butter cups into the cookie bars.
Cool. Salivate. Serve. Enjoy.
