Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

If you are like me and love peanut butter, then you are going to love these peanut butter cup cookies!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
15 mini peanut butter cups

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350° & spray a 12-count standard-sized muffin pan extremely well with floured cooking spray or grease & flour the pan; set aside.

Add the butter to a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high to melt, about 1 minute.

Add the egg, brown sugar, peanut butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.

Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and stir until just combined; don't over mix.

Using your hands, or a tablespoon, form approximately 15 equal-sized mounds of dough and place one mound of dough into each cavity of the muffin pan. 

Bake for 12 to 13 minutes, or until tops have set and are pale golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter.

Press 1 peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie.

Allow cookies to cool in pan for at least 15 minutes before removing them. Enjoy!
