I was first introduced to Peanut Butter Cup Cookies by my sister-in-law a few years back. Since then I have found the following recipe online at allrecipes.com and I use it all the time. I make these cookies at Christmas to share with family and friends and they are always a hit.
Ingredients
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
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda; set aside.
3. Add the flour mixture; mix well.
4.Shape into 40 balls and place each into an ungreased mini muffin pan.
5.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.
A few changes I have made:
I usually make them in a regular size muffin pan. Of course, you will only get 20-30 cookies instead of 40.
I used half a teaspoon vanilla extract and half a teaspoon almond extract last time and they turned out great.
ENJOY!
