Description
Delicious peanut butter cup cookies that are soft, chewy, and filled with mini peanut butter cups for an extra treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 24 mini peanut butter cups, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan or use paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough into each mini muffin cup. Press the dough down gently to form a base for the peanut butter cup.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the center is still soft.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie while they are still warm. Let the cookies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure that the peanut butter cups are unwrapped before baking.
- Do not overbake the cookies; they should be soft in the center.
- You can use chunky peanut butter for added texture if desired.
