TWD::Peanut Butter CrissCrosses with Reeses

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie recipe, Jasmine of Jasmine Cuisine chose the peanut butter crisscrosses, p. 78 in one of my favorite baking books, "Baking; From My Home to Yours" by Dorie Greenspan. 

I have to tell you they are incredibly delicious, but not that different than the recipe I grew up on.  The one difference here was making the crisscrosses.  In a chocolate-loving family it's WAY more fun to add the chocolate kiss to the top. Also, I find when you make the crisscross pattern in this cookie, it tends to be less chewy, which is how I {HEART}my cookies.  So, I made a few as directed by Dorie, then put a little childhood twist on them.  That's right.  Not kisses, but CUPS!  Peanut Butter Cups, that is!  I have to say, if you LOVE peanut butter with a touch of chocolate THIS is how to make your cookies.  You will DIE!  They are THAT good!  Don't put them on until the cookies are done and out of the oven.  Chop up your PB cups and then sprinkle and lightly press them into the top of the cookie.  The heat from the cookie will melt the chocolate just right to make it adhere to the cookie.  DELICIOUS!!!
