- Pipe the white chocolate mixture into the center of the cookie, forming a circle about the size of a Reese’s miniature cup.
- Gently place a miniature peanut butter cup upside down on top of the piped mixture, pressing down slightly to let the mixture ooze out.

Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Can be made in advance but allow to return to room temperature before serving. Can add crushed nuts or sprinkles for added texture and try different flavored chips for variation.
