<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><a href="#RECIPE">Jump to recipe</a></strong></em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I first shared the recipe for this Heart-Shaped Reese&#8217;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&#8217;t have all of these Google SEO rules to follow and posted with abandon. But I digress.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While going through recipes to update for Valentine&#8217;s Day, I decided it was time to revisit the trend of <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2012/02/02/reeses-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/">reese&#8217;s stuffed cookies</a>, but just for two. It would appear that peanut butter cups and love are synonymous in my brain as I&#8217;ve already shared two other festive recipes this year including <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2023/02/08/reeses-heart-peanut-butter-cup-cookie-bars/">reese&#8217;s cookie bars</a> and <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2023/01/30/mini-peanut-butter-cup-brownies/" title="Mini Peanut Butter Cup Brownies">peanut butter cup brownies</a>. But is there such a thing as too many peanut butter cups? </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">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&#8217;s Day lands on a weekday we cooked this same meal together again: <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2013/02/14/sun-dried-tomato-ravioli-with-basil-cream-sauce-jumbo-reeses-heart-stuffed-cookie/" title="Sun-Dried Tomato Ravioli with Basil Cream Sauce &amp; Jumbo Reese’s Heart Stuffed Cookie">sun-dried tomato ravioli</a>, <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2015/09/15/roasted-brussels-sprouts-with-jalapeno-aioli/" title="Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Jalapeno Aioli">roasted brussels sprouts</a>, white wine, and a Heart-Shaped Reese&#8217;s Stuffed Cookie of course!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">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&#8217;s Stuffed Cookie to two servings. Even more so when served warm topped with ice cream. Or eat the entire thing yourself, no judgement. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Should you chill the Reese&#8217;s stuffed cookie dough before baking?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">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&#8217;s Stuffed Cookie doesn&#8217;t require chilling. Since it is baked in a container it eliminates the worry of excessive spreading which chilling would normally help combat.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you&#8217;re like me and want all the peanut butter cups for Valentine&#8217;s Day you should also consider making my Lunch Lady <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2011/06/10/lunch-lady-peanut-butter-cookies/" title="Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Cookies">reese&#8217;s pieces peanut butter cookies</a>, chocolate <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2022/07/21/chocolate-reeses-pieces-cookies/" title="Chocolate Reese’s Pieces Cookies">reese&#8217;s pieces cookies</a> if you prefer more chocolate, or even a <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2014/08/30/reeses-peanut-butter-cookie-cake/" title="Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Cake">reese&#8217;s cookie cake</a> for a larger celebration.</p>

We are fundraising for pediatric cancer research funds again! This is the seventh annual Good Cookies Valentine&#8217;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 <a href="https://my.beagoodcookie.org/fundraiser/4265720" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cookies for Kids&#8217; Cancer</a>!

Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Because <a href="https://www.mediavine.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Mediavine</a> has pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000! That means your donation will be doubled!

Thank you to so many of you who have already donated, please help us reach our goal so we can get the full matching donations and help us make an even huge difference!

<a href="https://my.beagoodcookie.org/fundraiser/4265720" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Donate here today.</a>

We have until March 31st to raise $3000! So please donate today!

The key point was that we were told it was also a competition which they take very seriously. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We busted out of the gates with a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BrGMyO7gGDt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Hogwarts Express Trolley">Hogwarts Express Trolley</a>, complete with all the items you read about in the books and saw in the movies and then some, including cards inside the handmade <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2021/10/15/chocolate-frogs/" title="Chocolate Frogs #HalloweenTreatsWeek">chocolate frog</a> boxes with our Center professors on them. Apparently we took it up a level and not only raised the most money, but won best cart as well!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 2019, we kept the streak alive with our &#8220;Have a Typhoid Merry Christmas&#8221; cart which included Merry Christmice <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2020/12/11/chocolate-covered-cherry-mice/" title="Chocolate Covered Cherry Mice">chocolate covered cherries</a>, <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2011/08/25/petri-dish-cookies/" title="Petri Dish Cookies">petri dish cookies</a>, “raw hamburger” rice crispy treat patties, “unfinished courses of antibiotic” jelly beans, and chocolate covered raisin “gallstones”. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But then we all know what happened in 2020 and continued through 2021, so the cart festivities did not occur. However, this year I took it upon myself to revive it! The turnover is pretty high in science research, at least for staff, so not many people had experienced the holiday treat carts &#8211; they did not know about my intensity haha. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Originally I had Santa I know Him <a href="https://myheavenlyrecipes.com/santa-hat-brownie-bites/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Brownies">Brownies</a> and <a href="https://justisafourletterword.com/gumdrop-punch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Swirly Twirly Gumdrop Punch">Swirly Twirly Gumdrop Punch</a> on the menu as well, but we ran out of room on the cart as it was! I did also dress up like Buddy while I pushed the cart around to everyone&#8217;s offices, with a green cardigan cinched with a big black belt, yellow leggings, and hat. Sure enough we won again this year!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The star IMO was these no-bake Buddy the Elf spaghetti cookies which are great fun to make and remind me of my <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2011/02/18/butterscotch-haystack-cookies/" title="Butterscotch Haystack Cookies">mom&#8217;s haystack cookies</a> (I&#8217;ve also made a <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2019/12/28/chubby-hubby-haystack-cookies/" title="Chubby Hubby Haystack Cookies">chubby hubby</a> version).

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Usually I limit myself to one new buckeye variation a season, but with #HalloweenTreatsWeek ending today I just couldn&#8217;t resist combining it with my personal weekly celebration of #PBchocSat, but who can complain about more <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2010/11/20/buckeye-balls/" title="Buckeye Candies">buckeye candies</a>?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My husband being a Penn State alum usually insists that they are called peanut butter balls, not buckeyes, and he would be right if they were fully coated in chocolate. But clearly these are buckeyes, monster eye buckeyes in fact.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I combined the deliciously packed monster cookie dough with the classic buckeye candy into one. So not only is the center peanut butter, but also oats, chocolate chips, and M&amp;Ms. I have made a <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2017/10/28/peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-buckeyes/" title="Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Buckeyes">peanut butter chocolate chip cookie buckeye</a> before, but these are even more special.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To give them that slit monster eye look for Halloween, you dip just one side then the other instead of swirling to get a more round opening. Once hardened, take out the toothpick and cover the hole with another M&amp;M. Just make sure you devour them first before they get to you ;-).</p>

<li>1/2 tsp salt</li>
<li>2 cups quick-cooking oats (heat treated*)</li>
<li>2 cups sifted powdered sugar</li>
<li>1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips</li>
<li>1 cup mini candy-coated chocolate pieces</li>
<li>12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, for coating</li>

					<ol>
<li>Line two baking sheets with waxed paper; set aside.</li>
<li>In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt, Add the oats and mix until combined. Next add the powdered sugar one half cup at a time to reach desired consistency. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and candy-coated chocolate pieces.</li>
<li>Shape into balls using 2 teaspoons of dough for each ball (or a <a href="https://amzn.to/3rkBq00" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">small cookie scoop</a>). Place on prepared pan, insert a <a href="https://amzn.to/3LTf9zD" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wooden toothpick</a>, and place in the freezer.</li>
<li>Melt chocolate in a double boiler (or metal/glass bowl over a pot of lightly simmering water). Stir occasionally until smooth, and remove from heat.</li>
<li>Remove balls from freezer. Dip into melted chocolate leaving a eye-shaped slit uncovered at the base of the toothpick. Return to wax paper, chocolate side down. Repeat with remaining balls.</li>
<li>Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set. Remove toothpicks and cover the holes left behind with a candy-coated chocolate.</li>

Whenever I create a &#8220;new&#8221; chocolate chip cookie I hesitate to share the recipe, because in situations like this, I&#8217;ve already shared an <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2018/05/14/chewy-mm-chocolate-chip-cookies/">M&amp;M version</a> of <a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2013/12/13/my-favorite-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies/">my favorite chewy chocolate chip cookies</a>. But then I go ahead and share one with festive colored M&amp;Ms and chocolate chips, so here we are. I guess there&#8217;s something to be said about giving the people what they want because that original recipe is the #1 recipe on my blog every single day without fail. Granted I wish any other recipe on my site could trend anywhere close to that one after 8 years but I&#8217;ll take what I can get.</p>

<p>These cookies may not be innovative but they are festive with red and green M&amp;Ms and even red and green chocolate chips mixed in with the regular guys. I thought about dividing the dough in half, making one side green and the other red, but figured I&#8217;d save that for another time. Gotta keep some ideas up my sleeve if I&#8217;m going to keep this spiffy cookie train going!</p>

<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>CHEWY HOLIDAY M&amp;M CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES</strong></span></h2>
<p><em>Makes approximately 3 dozen cookies</em></p>
<p><b>Ingredients:</b></p>
<p>2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled</p>
<p>1 tsp baking soda</p>
<p>1 tsp salt</p>
<p>1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled</p>
<p>1 cup packed dark brown sugar</p>
<p>1/2 cup white sugar</p>
<p>1 Tbsp&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2011/01/04/homemade-vanilla-extract/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">vanilla extract</a></p>
<p>1 egg + 1 yolk, room temperature</p>
<p>2 cups holiday M&amp;M’s</p>
<p>1-1/2 holiday chocolate chips</p>
<p><b>Directions:</b></p>
<ol>
<li>Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookie sheets with silicone baking mats (or parchment paper); set aside.</li>
<li>Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.</li>
<li>In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended (1-2 minutes). Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients in three batches until just blended. Fold in the chips by hand.</li>
<li>Rolls 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball that is slightly taller than wide and place on a plate or tray. Cover tightly and chill for at least 2 hours, but overnight for best results (I’ve refrigerated for up to a week).</li>
<li>Place cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.</li>
<li>Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are barely golden (will look underbaked). Cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.</li>

<p>Oh M&amp;M&#8217;s you get me with your puns, cookies and scream (or screeem in this case)! While a chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips is nothing new, these dark chocolate cookie bars are made festive by the addition of these dark and white chocolate M&amp;M candies.</p>
<p>And then I threw on some spooky <a href="https://amzn.to/2T5ycw9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">eye sprinkles</a> for good measure.</p>

<p>As for Halloween festivities, other than putting up decor in and around the house I can&#8217;t remember the last time I attended a Halloween party or even dressed up. We also live on a street that&#8217;s a bit hidden so we don&#8217;t get any trick-or-treaters either.</p>
<p>Halloween used to be my favorite holiday but other than baking these treats I seem to have lost my fervor for it. Is this a sign of getting old?</p>

After my self-proclaimed epic failure to make fire hydrant shaped cake ball truffles for the last birthday (no I will not share photos), I was feeling a little unconfident when I received an e-mail from my brother and sister-in-law asking if I would be game for creating a Lego-shaped treat this year for my nephew Luke&#8217;s 5th birthday. However, my heart lifted when the words that proceeded it were &#8220;rice crispy treat&#8221;. Now that is more my speed. Granted I&#8217;m fairly certain that even the lop-sided fire hydrants were devoured with gusto by all the kids in attendance last year, not caring for one second that they weren&#8217;t perfect, but I&#8217;m a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to baking alright?</p>

<p>I&#8217;m telling you, I can make all kinds of crazy awesome flavored things and decorate them decently well, but creating shapes (other than buckeyes which are supposed to be imperfect) is not my forte. You would think it would be after years of creating animal and flower shaped pizzas growing up but alas that is not the case. But square rice crispy treats, dyed red, green, blue, and yellow, with corresponding colored M&amp;Ms on top? We are in business! I actually originally intended to coat the tops with a layer of colored chocolate as well but realized too late that I had ran out of a few colors and didn&#8217;t have time to go buy some. I think they came out pretty cute and would definitely be easy to make with any kiddos in your life.</p>

<p>P.S. In my rush to make sure these arrived in time for the party, all the way in California, I didn&#8217;t have time to take any photos! So all the photo credit goes to Kate and her mother Ilona. Below is a photo of Griffin, Luke&#8217;s younger brother enjoying a yellow brick!</p>

How did Monster Cookies get their name? They are not particularly monstrous in size unless you purposely make them larger. They do have a decent amount of ingredients with peanut butter, oats, M&amp;Ms, chocolate chips, and sometimes raisins. Maybe it&#8217;s because with all of those delicious additions you will turn into a cookie monster, eating one after the other without control! Even if you ascribe to the newer version of the veggie/cookie monster there are raisins and oatmeal in these cookies so they can totally pass as health food right?!</p>

<p>Whatever the reason for the naming of these cookies they certainly are delicious. I again adapted my favorite cookie recipe in making this version incorporating oats, M&amp;Ms, chocolate chips, and not just any old peanut butter but cinnamon-raisin blended peanut butter from Peanut Butter &amp; Co. See what I did there? I got raisins into these cookies in a way that even raisin haters will enjoy. Heck they probably wouldn&#8217;t even know they were in there if you didn&#8217;t tell them. I certainly won&#8217;t O:-).</p>

<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>MONSTER COOKIES</strong></span></h3>
<p><em>Makes approximately 3 dozen</em></p>
<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p>
<p>1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled</p>
<p>1 cup old fashioned rolled oats</p>
<p>1 tsp baking soda</p>
<p>1 tsp salt</p>
<p>1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter</p>
<p>1/2 cup PB&amp;Co&#8217;s Cinnamon Raisin Swirl peanut butter*</p>
<p>1-1/4 cup packed light brown sugar</p>
<p>1/4 cup white sugar</p>
<p>1 Tbsp <a title="Homemade Vanilla Extract" href="https://www.thespiffycookie.com/2011/01/04/homemade-vanilla-extract/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">vanilla extract</a></p>
<p>1 egg + 1 yolk, room temperature</p>
<p>1 cup M&amp;Ms (I used Easter colors)</p>
<p>1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips</p>
<p>*Or 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter + 2 Tbsp chopped raisins + 1/2 tsp cinnamon</p>
<p><strong>Directions:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt; set aside.</li>
<li>Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue to cook until butter turns to an amber/light brown color, and remove from heat immediately. Pour into a large bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature.</li>
<li>Once butter has cooled, add the peanut butter and sugars. Cream together until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until just incorporated. Mix in the sifted ingredients in three batches until just blended. Using a spatula, fold in the M&amp;Ms and chocolate chips.</li>
<li>Rolls 2 tablespoons of dough into balls and place on a plate or tray. Cover tightly and chill for at least 2 hours, overnight for best results (refrigerate for up to one week).</li>
<li>Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper; set aside.</li>
<li>Place cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.</li>
<li>Bake for 10 minutes (will look underbaked). Cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.</li>

<p>When was the last time you bought the exact amount of candy needed to meet the demands of all the trick-or-treaters that ring your door bell on Halloween? Chances are you either buy too little or too much, with most people landing on the side with excess. Other than picking out all your favorites to hoard, what are you going to do with it all? I say throw it all together and bake it into one glorious mess, whether that be a <a href="https://creativecynchronicity.com/halloween-candy-bark-recipe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Halloween candy bark</a> or these Halloween Candy Layer Bars &#8211; they are 7-lyaer/magic bars but made with leftover Halloween candy!</p>
<p>With the help of a graham cracker crust and more sugar in the form of sweetened condensed milk this dream is a reality. The best part about Leftover Halloween candy bar layer bars is that you can use whatever assortment you have. In my case it was Reese&#8217;s peanut butter cups, plain M&amp;Ms, peanut M&amp;Ms, Crunch, Twix, Kit Kats, Almond Joys, Milky Ways, Snickers, and Hershey&#8217;s cookies &#8216;n&#8217; creme bars. Since 7-layer bars have chocolate, nuts, and coconut I figured that diverse candy selection covered it all with a little extra.</p>
