Total time: 25 min
Yield: 48 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter; 1/2 cup salted butter, softened; 1/2 cup packed brown sugar; 1/2 cup granulated sugar; 1 large egg; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 tsp baking soda; 1/2 tsp baking powder; 1/4 tsp salt; 48 miniature peanut butter cups, frozen; Non-stick cooking spray or butter, for greasing

1

In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.

2

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix again until well combined.

3

Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

4

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

5

Generously grease two 24-cup mini muffin tins with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

6

Using a small cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls and place one in each cup of the prepared mini muffin tins.

7

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn a light golden brown.

8

Immediately after removing the tins from the oven, press one frozen miniature peanut butter cup into the center of each warm cookie.

9

Allow the cookies to cool completely in the muffin tins before removing them. This helps them set properly.
