Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Description
The recipe uses classic ingredients including all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, softened butter, white and brown sugar, peanut butter, egg, vanilla, and milk to make a smooth cookie dough. After mixing dry ingredients separately, the wet ingredients and sugars are creamed together before combining to form a soft dough.
Shaping the dough into one-inch balls and baking in greased mini muffin pans keeps the cookies uniform in size and shape. Pressing a mini peanut butter cup into each cookie immediately after baking allows the candy to soften slightly into the warm cookie, creating a combined peanut butter and chocolate flavor.
These cookies have a tender, chewy texture with a pronounced peanut butter taste enriched by the chocolate candy on top. They work well as a snack, dessert, or for sharing at gatherings.
