It's ok to cheat

This post may be a little contradictory, but it is one of my favorite recipes. I have made this numerous times and it is so easy. I now make a double batch for parties because they go so fast. It also helps that they are bite size. I found this on allrecipes.com awhile ago and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Makes 40 cookies

1 & 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter (I use JIF)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tbsp. milk
40 mini reeese's peanut butter cups, unwrapped *I keep these in the freezer. It is easier to peel and not have the chocolate melt on your hand.
* Depending on your oven, I always set the time a little short just in case. 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
  2.  Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda; set aside.
  3. Cream together the butter, sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar until fluffy. 
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla and milk. Add the flour mixture; mix well. 
  5. Shape into 40 balls and place each into an ungreased mini muffin pan.
  6. 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.

  1. These sound delicious! I am a crazy peanut butter cup and cookie fan and this combines the best of both worlds! I will for sure try to make these sometime soon! Maybe you can bring them for the pinterest recipe during the final, so I can compare :)
