How cute is this? With only four ingredients, these adorable Pumpkin Patch Cookie Cups are super simple to make, and taste delicious! They’re the perfect treat for Halloween!
Ingredients
I used the following four ingredients for the Pumpkin Patch Cookie Cups: Store-bought refrigerated sugar cookie dough, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures, Mellowcreme Pumpkins, and green decorator icing.
Making the Pumpkin Patch Cookie Cups
I unwrapped the cookie dough and cut it into 24 pieces. First I cut it into six round pieces. Then I cut each of the six pieces into four pieces.
Then I dropped the pieces of cookie dough into the greased cups of my mini-muffin pan. I had made these cookie cups years ago, and therefore knew that it wasn’t necessary to try to shape the dough at this point.
Next, I baked the cookies in a preheated 350° F oven for about 15 minutes. While the cookies were baking, I unwrapped 24 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. After 15 minutes, the cookie were puffy and golden brown. When I removed the pan from the oven, I immediately pressed a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup into the center of each of the cookies to form the cups.
After letting the cookie cups cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, I carefully removed them to a wire rack to cool completely.
I filled a piping bag fitted with a #233 tip, added some of the decorator icing, and piped some “grass” in the center of each cookie cup.
For the finishing touch, I topped each of the cookie cups with a candy pumpkin!

With only four ingredients, these are so easy and fun to make. They not only have the “WOW” factor for their appearance, but also taste delicious. Yum!
