Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (creamy)
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 24 pieces mini Reese's peanut butter cups, unwrapped
- 1 for greasing nonstick cooking spray or butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or butter and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place each ball into a prepared mini muffin cup. Repeat until all muffin cups are filled.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are puffed.
Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, gently press a mini Reese's peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie. Let them cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes to set.
Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
