Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
• 24 pieces Reese's Miniature Peanut Butter Cups (unwrapped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line it with mini paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough into each cup of the prepared mini muffin tin. Flatten the dough slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to set and the tops appear slightly cracked. Do not overbake.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and immediately press one Reese's Miniature Peanut Butter Cup into the center of each cookie cup while they are still warm.

Step 9

Allow the cookie cups to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
