Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Description
This recipe mixes all-purpose flour, baking soda, brown and granulated sugars, creamy peanut butter, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt into a peanut butter cookie dough. The dough is shaped into small balls and baked in a mini muffin tin until set but still soft. Shortly after baking, an unwrapped mini peanut butter cup is pressed into the center of each cookie, melting slightly as they cool, which adds a creamy, chocolate-peanut butter surprise. The cookies have a tender texture with sweet peanut and chocolate layers.
Cookies can be baked either in the suggested mini muffin tin for a deeper cookie or on a parchment-lined baking sheet for a traditional flat shape. They are stored well at room temperature for several days or frozen long-term. The dough can also be refrigerated before baking to maintain freshness.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup butter softened
- 2 egg
- 1 (10.5-ounce) bag Reese’s peanut butter cups mini
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine flour, baking soda, brown sugar, peanut butter, vanilla salt, granulated sugar, butter, and eggs in a bowl and mix on SLOW until well combined.
- Form dough into 1 - 1½ inch balls and place in greased mini muffin tin. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Once removed from oven, put an unwrapped peanut butter cup in the middle of each cookie and press lightly. Let cool before removing from pan. ENJOY!
Notes
- If a mini muffin tin is unavailable, bake the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet for a more traditional cookie shape.
- Store cooled cookies in a sealed container at room temperature for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- The dough can be refrigerated, covered, for 1-2 days before baking to ease scheduling.
