Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 36 miniature peanut butter cups

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Spray a miniature muffin tin with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter and softened butter until combined.
  • Add in the sugars, and mix together.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until everything is combined.
  • Scoop the dough into the mini muffin tin, about 1 tablespoon for each muffin compartment.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until they start to turn golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, unwrap the peanut butter cups.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and carefully press a peanut butter cup into the cookie. Allow them to cool completely in the muffin tin.

Notes

  • Place cookies in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 5 days. Layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • For longer freshness, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • You can also freeze the cookies by placing the cooled cookies in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
