• 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! ;-)

   I'm making these for my boyfriend who's coming in town tomorrow. I put them in originally for 8 minutes then noticed they weren't done in the middle so I've had them in the oven for an extra 10 minutes :-/
   Hope these are good! Found this recipe on pinterest!! :)
   I really hope he likes them though!!

   Thanks so much for this recipe!! Found it on Pinterest. Made them yesterday (just a half batch) and followed the recipe exactly as written. I've seriously eaten 6 of these already. Gained 2lbs but totally worth it!! Would be delicious with Hershey kisses too. Yum!!!
