Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

October 12th, 2011 by justJENN

Peanut butter cookies are great. Chocolate chip cookies, also great. But sometimes you want that little extra oompf. I love anything tiny and I bought a pound of these mini peanut butter cups from bulk bin candy. They add the perfect peanut butter chocolate taste – and will make your day a whole lot better, I promise.

ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
2 cups mini peanut butter cups

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with silpats.

In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla.

Carefully add in the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the mini peanut butter cups.

Drop by Tablespoonfuls onto the prepped sheets. Leaving a good 2-3 inches between each one.

Bake for 8-10 minutes depending on your oven – let cool on a wire rack.
