Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 24 pieces Miniature peanut butter cups (unwrapped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon of dough per ball) and place each ball into a cavity of the mini muffin tin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges and set.
As soon as you remove the cookies from the oven, gently press a miniature peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie.
Allow the cookies to cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious peanut butter cup cookies!
