My coworker and family friend, Jason, is always bringing in coffee with creamer every Saturday. His usual favorite is Reese’s (can you blame him?). So in honor of his birthday Friday, I made these bad boys. I was looking for a more cake-style cookie and this is what I came up with. I’m glad we’re dropping these off with him and his birthday buddy Phil today at a small (social distancing friendly😷) get together, because if I keep these in the house any longer I think I’d gain back any weight I’ve lost the past few weeks running! As usual, I got no complaints from the Joe man. Just a quick grab-and-run when I asked him if he wanted to try one.
*I was just shy a full cup of Reese’s to put in the recipe (someone’s tiny fingers were sneaking them while I was mixing things together). So they SHOULD look a bit more Reese’s filled!🙃
