When the balls come out of the oven, press an unwrapped mini peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie while the dough is warm. When you bite into one – you’ll love the soft and chewy dough with the peanut butter cup tucked inside.

Keyword chocolate, cookie, peanut butter

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 54 mini chocolate peanut butter cups unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Add egg and vanilla; beat well.

  2. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until blended.

  3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place in greased 1-3/4-inch* (mini) muffin cups. Bake for 8 minutes. Cookies will be golden on top and slightly brown on the edges.

  4. Remove them from the oven and immediately press an unwrapped peanut butter cup into the center of each. Let cool for a couple of minutes in the pan, then carefully remove each cookie and finish cooling on a wire rack. If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

    Hi, Please reread your recipe as point 1 and 2 are basically the same and there is no mention of when you add the dry ingredients after creaming the butters & sugar. Thank you.

      Hi Beverly,

      The candies should be unwrapped before you push them into the cookie. 🙂
