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 :)
