There should be a warning attached to this recipe...do not eat these while they are still warm, because you won't be able to stop!! These chocolate spritz dough cookies with a mini-Reese's center, are heavenly right out of the oven. I "accidentally" knocked a few of them over, while they were still hot, and the melted chocolate sort of got drippy like in this photo (so I was FORCED to eat those imperfect ones...snicker).The chocolate shell is a spritz cookie recipe1¼ cup butter (room temperature)1 cup white sugar2/3 cup brown sugar packed2 large eggs1 teaspoon vanilla extract2½ cups all purpose flour2/3 cup bakers cocoa½ teaspoon baking soda¼ teaspoon saltFrozen miniature Reese's cupsIn a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars at medium high speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg. Add vanilla extract. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Add this gradually and beat well. Let dough sit for about 15 minutes.Roll dough into 1½ inch balls and place in an ungreased mini-muffin pan. Bake at 375 for about 12 minutes, leave the cookies in the pan. Immediately press a frozen miniature Reece's cup candy into the center of each baked cookie, pressing down as far as you can. Let cookies sit in pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully lift them out and place them on a cooling rack. The chocolate will be very liquid, so be careful not to spill it. Cookies will cool and set in an hour so. After the chocolate "sets" the cookies are no longer messy. Makes about 4 dozen.NOTE: Christmas sprinkles or candy would make these a wonderful addition to your Christmas cookie trays. SEE VIDEO TUTORIAL >>
