    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda; set aside.
  3. Cream together the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla and milk. Add the flour mixture; mix well.
  5. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop equal portions of dough into 40 wells in an ungreased mini muffin pan.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes until just set. Remove from oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball. Cool and carefully remove from pan.

Notes

  • I like to use a 1-tablespoon scoop (#60) for portioning these cookies.
