A Peanut Butter Cup inside a chocolaty chocolate chip cookie, ooey gooey goodness.

Helpful HInts:

• You can use Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or any Generic brand
• I used whole, salted peanuts and then coarsely chopped them with a knife to sprinkle on top
• I used chocolate chips in the cookie batter and then saved a few for the tops of the cookies
• It’s tricky knowing when these cookies are done because you can’s see if they’re golden.  As long as the middle of the cookie doesn’t look doughy, you’re good to take them out of the oven
• I like using the big Ghiradellie milk chocolate chips but it would be fun to have a mixture of semi-sweet, or chunks instead of chocolate chips.
• Whit chocolate chips would also work in these cookies
