Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Chop peanut butter cups into small pieces.

They’re easiest to chop if they’re cold. I also put them back in the fridge while I’m mixing the batter, just to keep them cold before they’re mixed in.

2. Melt semisweet chips on the stovetop, or microwave in a glass bowl for about 2 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.

3. Combine sugar and butter, and then add melted chocolate.

4. When combined and slightly cooled, add eggs and vanilla. Mix in baking powder, salt, and flour, and then gently stir in milk chocolate chips and peanut butter cup pieces.

5. Form cookies into balls, and then flatten on cookie sheets.

6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies sit on pan a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
