Especially if I served these with a Venti Iced Mocha.
My friend Teresa is to blame for these. Over the past few days, she's been texting pictures of her Easter candy creations. (Just hop over to her blog this week to be blown away.)
{My brain really wants me to hold onto the 10 pounds I'd like to lose.}
Make them with the regular peanut butter eggs (PLEASE, make them) to risk serving time in an NYC jail, OR make them with the mini eggs for a much more balanced diet. Either way? You can't go wrong.
Don't you love those little crinkles?
Oh, and yes, you're reading the recipe correctly. There is no flour in the cookie dough.
Reese's Peanut Butter Egg-Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies
Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs (regular or mini)
2 cups smooth peanut butter (I used Jif)
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
sanding sugar
Place the peanut butter eggs in the freezer to chill while you make up the dough.
Preheat oven to 375 and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
For the large eggs, scoop out 1/4 cup dough. Divide the scoop in half and shape one half into an oval large enough to make a "bed" for the egg.
Bake for 12 minutes, cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
For the mini eggs, scoop out generous teaspoons of dough. Roll into balls.
My apologies to Mayor Bloomberg.
They look truly awesome. I love Reeses, we dont have them in France though !!!

I always stuff peanut butter cups in my cookies!! They should be illegal! They are too darn good- I bet the large reeses egg stuffed cookies are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThese look beyond decadent!! Love them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! These look incredible!
ReplyDeleteummm YUM! Sounds like a perfect cookie to me!
ReplyDeleteI think you are right about Mayor Bloomberg, hehe! These look so yummy, too bad I gave up reeses for lent...le sigh. Just a few more weeks.

These are a total dream!! Omg awesomeness!
ReplyDeleteJust ate one of those eggs and what a great idea to add it to a cookie...yum!!
ReplyDeleteI just died and went to cookie heaven. I will keep them safe under my bed in NYC.
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! A peanut butter lover's paradise.

haha! I did wake up in NYC this morning… (I've been a New Yorker for 10 years now) and I don't mind the soda size limit at all. :)
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look amazing! I'm sure he'd let these slide. ;) Can't wait to try them myself. Thanks for the recipe!
OH... these are the best!! I know what I will be baking tonight at my house! I will need to make a double batch for my family.. Thank you for the recipe!!
ReplyDeleteoh my!
ReplyDeleteThe day Mayor Bloomberg tells me how big my cookies have to be is the day I move out of New York and join you in Texas! Can't wait to try these :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow. These look amazing!! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteWell, there goes my diet this week. Those look so delicious. I will definitely be making them very soon. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, there goes my diet this week. Those look so delicious. I will definitely be making them very soon. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteThey look yummy... Just wondering how many large eggs I should buy?
ReplyDeleteI used a mix of small and large eggs, but I think you'd get about 8 cookies with the full-sized ones only. :)
DeleteYum! These look perfect! I love peanut butter in anything :)
ReplyDeleteNo flour in this recipe? Wow, that is strange! I made some cookies with mini Reeses cups, added to peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, when they were almost done- then you put them on the top, and bake a couple more minutes. These sound just as dangerous!
ReplyDeleteThe mini eggs are very cute and practical ... but to quote my hubby "go big or go home"! I don't think the hubby and the mayor would get along ;) Thank you for sharing ... now I must make them!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Bridget! Little Buddy will flip when he sees these cookies! Reese's Eggs are prized possessions around here and I can't wait to try these! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYummy!
ReplyDeleteSinful... in a good way :D
ReplyDeleteI love flourless PB cookies and yours turned out beautifully. And of course, stuffed with candy - even better. There is no wrong way to do PB for me! Pinned!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try these tonight but I am just a little worried about the no flour???
ReplyDeleteYum. Peanut butter cookies with peanut butter egg soft gooey center sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOMG this looks amazing...
ReplyDeleteYUMMMY OMG.. LOOKS DELISH
ReplyDeleteOh.
ReplyDeleteMy.
Wordy!
I pop over here for the first time in a month and look what I find!
EASTER CANDY cookies!!!!!!!!!!!!
How much do I love you!!!!!!!!!
And excuse me. Cookie dough with no flour??? How does that happen?
Look at that big-fat-yuMMy peanut butter egg in that cookie!
Magic to the eyes and lips my friend!
That's totally worth the extra 10 pounds and elastic waist jeans! ;)
Thanks for the link up my friend!
Easter Candy is JOY!
Pure JOY!
xo
I immediately emailed this recipe to roommates to give them fair warning, these cookies are worth going to jail for!
ReplyDeleteThis is the best idea I've seen in a loooong time! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHaha, you are right, these would definitely be outlawed in NYC if Mayor Bloomberg caught wind of them! But really, I'd argue with him that Reeses eggs can only be enjoyed once a year, justifying the 'splurge'... these cookies look great! I love flourless peanut butter cookies.
ReplyDeleteHowever, take it a step further as I am a lover of seasonal Reese's (pumpkin, tree, egg, you name it)! These are year round. Use the orange sugar sprinkles and pumpkin Reeses during Halloween. MMMMM
DeleteMy heart is racing just thinking about all the sugar I'd consume eating these cookies. Must make!!
ReplyDeleteHOLY COW! I think I would make myself sick on them, and it would be SO worth it!
ReplyDeleteOh my GOSH! Peanut butter and chocolate!! That should be outlawed! These are dangerous!
ReplyDeleteoh mama, if it's a crime, I want to commit it.
ReplyDeleteOh wow... I wish I could have one of these so bad!
ReplyDeleteBridget...Peanut Butter an chocolate is my FAVORITE combination! These look delicious. Maybe they are for the teacher's luncheon today? One can hope <3
ReplyDeleteThere are honestly no words for this. I am speechless.
ReplyDeleteBridget, these have to be the BEST stuffed drop/formed cookies EVER! Reese's is my BIGGEST weakness of all childhood candy favorites. Instead of Peanut Butter Blossoms at Christmas, I am baking THESE! What? My cookies will have Reese's Christmas Trees stuffed in them? Nah...no one will even notice the odd shape. LOVE! xo
ReplyDeleteOMG such a beautiful blog!!! The pics are AMAZING!!!! I'm a new member of your blog right now :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a food-blogger too, just take a look to my blog http://fancyfactorylab.blogspot.it/ and let me know what are your opinion!
Take care

I wonder why I don't think of things like this haha. :) Now I have to go buy things - ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I"ll come up with something.
These are delicious! I made most covered and last row cooked with leaving egg sticking up in middle. That gooey is just heavenly. Thanks for sharing recipe.
ReplyDeleteI'm dying over here. And I think that maybe I should be running in place just *reading* about this heavenly deliciousness.
ReplyDeletePeanut butter + chocolate = my weakness.
What are you trying to do to me?! ;) #amazeballs!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness ... these ... perfect!
ReplyDeleteWoW.... these look fantastic. I love the crinkle :-) I want these now...
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to make these! How many Reese's eggs do you need for the whole batch?
ReplyDeleteI used a mix of small and large eggs, but I think you'd get about 8 cookies with the full-sized ones only. :)
DeleteWe make peanut butter cookies with: peanut butter, sugar, and eggs. They are called Magic cookies.
ReplyDeleteI have to pick up some Easter candies and make these cookies for our Easter lunch. Thanks :)
Si es ilegal habra que legalizarlo! Tienen que estar de miedo!
ReplyDeleteThese were delicious and fun for the family to make together. Thank you for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteWould they be ok for a little before Easter?
ReplyDelete{My brain really wants me to hold onto the 10 pounds I'd like to lose.} Yes!! (I can stop anytime I want - 10 lbs won't be that hard) Great recipe!
ReplyDeleteOh my dear peanut butter cookie...These look amazing and I love the sprinkling of sanding sugar, it just makes them that much more pretty!
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing! Love peanut butter and chocolate. I don't think Reeses Peanut butter eggs are available in the UK ( defintely not in my area) so will have to use a substitute.
ReplyDeleteA lovely post it is
ReplyDeleteWow, the cakes look delicious and attractive
