Peanut Butter Cups
Makes: 4 dozen
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
13 oz. pkg. miniature peanut butter cups, unwrapped (like Reece’s)
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray miniature muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Combine sugars, butter and peanut butter on med. speed until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, mix well. Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients and mix well. Shape dough into 1″ balls. Place each ball into prepared muffin cups. Bake 11-13 minutes till lightly browned. Remove from oven, press peanut butter cup in center of each cookie. Let cool 30 min. Remove from pan. Cool completely.
