Calories: 299kcal
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 8 oz chopped mini Reese’s cups
- 13.4 oz can of Dulce de leche (may have some left)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a mini cupcake pan. (You would need two mini cupcake pans or you can wait until the first batch is completely cooled.)
- In a small bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter and sugar, beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract. Scrape sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Still on low, drop in chopped Reese’s mini cups, mix until just combined.
- Take out about 1 tbsp of dough and roll it into a ball less than an inch in size. Flatten it and place it in the cupcake pan cup, forming a cookie cup. Repeat to fill the pan.
- Drop a heaping teaspoon of dulce de leche in each cookie cup.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, take out of the oven and let them cool completely before taking them out of the pan or they will break.
