Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 24 pieces Mini peanut butter cups (unwrapped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Gently press a mini peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie, flattening the dough slightly around it to hold it in place.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly undercooked but will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
