If you love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, you must try these peanut butter cookies with peanut butter cups!
I made these cookies for the first time back in May for my parents’ anniversary. They were a big hit! I found the peanut butter cookies with peanut butter cups recipe at allrecipes.com, where it received rave reviews.
These cookies are soft and melt in your mouth delicious and a MAJOR fix for people like me who think chocolate and peanut butter are a match made in cookie heaven.
They are perfect for the holidays – or as DIY wedding favors.
Recipe and Tutorial for Peanut Butter Cookies with Peanut Butter Cups
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 40 miniature chocolate covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Place your peanut butter cups in the freezer. (They will be easier to work with.)
Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda; set aside.
Cream together the butter, sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla and milk.
Add the flour mixture; mix well.
Shape into 40 balls and place each into an ungreased mini muffin pan.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball.
Cool and carefully remove from pan.
Yum!
Um, I think you’re supposed to put the cups in before you bake the cookies. That way they melt!
Not for this recipe Megan. My guess is that they might be a melted mess if you put them in first.
Nope this cookie is just like a Peanut Butter Blossom but with a Peanut Butter cup instead of a Hershey Kiss. The hot cookie melts the cup just enough that it melts in your mouth when you eat it…..I can’t wait to make this version, thanks!
Peanut butter cups are my favorite! These look scrumptious!
OMG! Could you imagine the mess if you baked the peanut butter cup for 8 minutes! lol!
