Treat Tuesday-Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

IMG_0564It started innocently enough, a trip through Trader Joe’s to pick up some oatmeal.  I accidentally went down the wrong aisle and I ran into these mini peanut butter cups.  They are about the size of a chocolate chip, but with peanut butter inside of them!

IMG_0540IMG_0542In order to keep from eating the whole container, I set out to find a great treat to throw them in.  I took a cookie recipe that I love to make and switched out the chocolate chips for these peanut butter chips and left off the frosting.
