I first shared the recipe for this Heart-Shaped Reese’s Stuffed Cookie for Two 10 years ago, but it was combined with another recipe in the same post. Oh those joyous days when we didn’t have all of these Google SEO rules to follow and posted with abandon. But I digress.

While going through recipes to update for Valentine’s Day, I decided it was time to revisit the trend of reese’s stuffed cookies, but just for two. It would appear that peanut butter cups and love are synonymous in my brain as I’ve already shared two other festive recipes this year including reese’s cookie bars and peanut butter cup brownies. But is there such a thing as too many peanut butter cups?

I also thought it was a fun ode to the fact that 10 years ago my husband, then boyfriend, and I made those two recipes together. Since Valentine’s Day lands on a weekday we cooked this same meal together again: sun-dried tomato ravioli, roasted brussels sprouts, white wine, and a Heart-Shaped Reese’s Stuffed Cookie of course!

This recipe would normally made a single serving cookie but the addition of a 5 oz. peanut butter cup inside considerably beefs up this Reese’s Stuffed Cookie to two servings. Even more so when served warm topped with ice cream. Or eat the entire thing yourself, no judgement.

Should you chill the Reese’s stuffed cookie dough before baking?

If you are looking to prep ahead of time, in order to simply pop this in the oven when ready, you definitely can. However, unlike drop cookies, this Reese’s Stuffed Cookie doesn’t require chilling. Since it is baked in a container it eliminates the worry of excessive spreading which chilling would normally help combat.

If you’re like me and want all the peanut butter cups for Valentine’s Day you should also consider making my Lunch Lady reese’s pieces peanut butter cookies, chocolate reese’s pieces cookies if you prefer more chocolate, or even a reese’s cookie cake for a larger celebration.

We are fundraising for pediatric cancer research funds again! This is the seventh annual Good Cookies Valentine’s Event! I’m thrilled to be participating again to help make a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer research. My food blogger and content creator friends got together again and we are sharing Valentine’s Day inspired recipes to inspire you to cook and to share and donate to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. Did you know that cancer is the #1 cause of death of children by disease in the U.S? And that childhood cancer survivors often have long term effects, more than ⅔ of them develop secondary cancers, heart disease, kidney disease and others. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. We would love your help to get the word out about how much childhood cancers affect a lot of us. A lot of us know someone who has been affected. Let’s help make these families lives a little bit better. Please help spread the word and if you can, please donate today to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer! Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Because Mediavine has pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000! That means your donation will be doubled!
