    A classic recipe for Peanut Butter Cup Cookies.

    These Peanut Butter Cup Cookies are a favorite of mine. I mean a cookie stuffed with candy, how could these not be a favorite. Peanut butter cookies have a special place in my heart. They are the very first recipe my mom taught me, and the first cookie I ever made on my own. I think it's what sparked my love for cookies!
    Well, I took my peanut butter cookies to the next level with this recipe. My favorite classic peanut butter cookie recipe, but I baked them in a mini muffin tin and then stuffed them with chocolate peanut butter cups! Oh yum!!

    How to make Peanut Butter Cup Cookies:

    Step 1:

    Preheat your oven.

    Step 2:

    Beat your peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until fluffy.

    Step 3:

    In a separate bowl combine, flour, baking soda, and salt and then slowly add it to the peanut butter mixture.

    Step 4:

    Mix together until well blended.

    Step 5:

    Place a spoon size scoop in your dough into a mini muffin pan.

    Step 6:

    Bake until golden brown. While your cookies bake unwrap your peanut butter cups.

    Step 7:

    When your cookies are done place your peanut butter cups into the center of the cookie right away.

    Step 8:

    Place on a cooling rack and let cool for 3-5 minutes or until your peanut butter cups have become hard again.

      these look amazing! Anything with chocolate and peanut butter is a friend of mine! The only thing is I don't have a mini cupcake tin. Any other way to do it?
