  8. Remove from oven and immediately press a miniature Reese’s into each cookie cup.
  9. Let cool 15-20 minutes in pan.
  10. Remove cookie cups from baking pan (At first the Reese’s miniatures are nice and melty – be sure to eat at least one cup this way!), and serve.
  11. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze for a convenient treat.
