Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

I am still in Mexico on Vacation but found some pictures on my computer that I had taken of one of my mom’s cookie recipes before I left and have been dying to post something! I am having so much fun in Mexico and getting inspired by a lot of the food here I can t wait to come home and recreate some of the amazing dishes I have been eating!

These cookies are as good as they look and my little brother loves them. You can also freeze them and save them up for later!
