Description

These always get gobbled up and are great for school bake sales. The 1 hour prep time also includes time to chill in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Butter, Softened, Or Butter Flavored Crisco
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar, Packed
  • ½ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ½ cups Creamy Peanut Butter
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla
  • 1-¼ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ¾ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 42 whole Or Maybe A Few More Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

Preparation

Combine butter, sugars, egg, peanut butter, and vanilla in a mixing bowl; beat until smooth.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture. Mix thoroughly and then cover dough and chill.

Preheat oven to 375F.

When cold enough to handle easily, roll dough into small (walnut-sized) balls (I use a mini ice cream scoop).

Place each ball in a greased miniature muffin tin. Bake for 8 – 9 minutes.

Meanwhile, unwrap mini peanut butter cups. When dough comes out of the oven; gently press 1 peanut butter cup into each cookie.

Cool in pan for 10 minutes then remove from pan and cool on a rack.

Love these! I have been making these since I was in Jr. High (I guess they call it middle school, now:) in the early 80’s! It was a recipe I found in Seventeen magazine. Very similar.

Yummy. We ran out of peanut butter cups and put Heath Bar toffee bits on the last ones, and they were great as well.
