Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 24 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or spray with non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place each ball into the prepared mini muffin tin. Press down gently to flatten the tops.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookie cups are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press a mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup into the center of each cookie.
- Let the cookies cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure to unwrap Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups ahead of time, so they’re ready to press into the hot cookie cups.
- You can freeze these cookie cups for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
- For a firmer chocolate center, chill the cookie cups in the fridge for 10 minutes after pressing in the Reese’s.
