Peanut Butter Cup Cookies Recipe

 #Peanut #Butter #Cup #Cookies #Recipe

(About 48 cookie cups)

Ingredients:

• 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (equivalent to 7.4 ounces)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup butter (equivalent to 1 stick)
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 40 miniature chocolate covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped (You’ll need to buy two 12 ounce packages.)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Grease a mini muffin pan and set it aside.
2. Don’t forget to unwrap the mini peanut butter cups!
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.  Set aside the dry ingredients.
4. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until it’s fluffy.
5. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk.
6. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until combined.
7. Drop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough into each mini muffin pan cup.  I used the OXO good grips small cookie scoop.  (To avoid confusion, do NOT put the peanut butter cups in before baking!)
8. Bake the cookie cups for about 9 minutes.
9. Remove from the oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball.
10. Let it cool and then remove them from the pan.
