Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bag (12 ounce) mini peanut butter cups (Reeses, SEE NOTE)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Unwrap each mini peanut butter cup (and DON’T eat any! :) )

  • Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter and the sugars. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

  • Step 3: Blend the flour, soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.

  • Step 4: Preheat oven to 375F.

  • Step 5: Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place in ungreased mini muffin tins.

  • Step 6: Bake 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press one peanut butter cup into each cookie, leaving the top of the cup showing. Cool in pans.

  • Step 7: NOTE: You used to get 40 mini peanut butter cups in a package, My last one only had 38, so you either have to buy two bags or make a couple of cookies without them, since this yields 40 cookies. If you buy two bags, then bonus-you get to eat 36 peanut butter cups later :)
