Pumpkin Pecan Peanut Butter Cookie Cups

Hello all and Happy Thursday.  Prayers to those that need them.  Sorry I'm so late today, just not back in the swing of things.  Today is another cookie, lots of goodies over the holidays lol.  It is from Betty Crocker, totally simple and tasty.  It called for pumpkin spice cookies and I'm totally sure they would have been delicious but I wasn't able to find them so I used peanut butter cookies.  Enjoy!

Pumpkin Pecan Peanut Butter Cookie Cups

1 pouch Betty Crocker pumpkin spice cookie mix

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 egg

36 unwrapped miniature chocolate-covered peanut butter cup candies

36 pecan halves

Heat oven to 350°.

In medium bowl, beat cookie mix, butter and egg with spoon or electric mixer on medium speed until blended.  Shape level tablespoons of dough into balls to make 36 balls.  Place a dough ball in each of 36 ungreased mini muffin cups.

Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around edges.  Immediately place 1 candy in center of each cookie.  Cool 10 minutes; remove to cooling rack.  Press pecan half onto top of each candy. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
