Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 36 pieces Miniature chocolate peanut butter cups (unwrapped)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease mini muffin tins or line them with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined to form a dough.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.
Place a dough ball in each cavity of the prepared mini muffin tin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are puffed.
Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press one miniature chocolate peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie. The edges may crack slightly, which is normal.
Allow the cookies to cool in the tin for 5-7 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your irresistible Peanut Butter Temptations!
