Provided by April Billedeau

Categories     Chocolate

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

40 reeses peanut butter cups miniatures
1 stick butter or margarine, softened
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c packed light brown sugar
1/2 c reeses creamy peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Heaven oven to 375 degrees. Remove wrappers from candies. Line small muffin cups (1 3/4 inches in diameter) with paper bake cups, if desired.
  • 2. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, egg and vanilla until fluffy in large bowl. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place one in each paper-lined or ungreased muffin cup. Do not flatten.
  • 3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until puffed and lightly browned; remove from oven. Immediately press peanut butter cup in center of each cookie. Cool completely in muffin pan.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter provides a smooth and rich texture to the recipes, making them more enjoyable.
  • Measure ingredients accurately: Correct measurements are crucial for successful baking. Invest in a digital kitchen scale for precise measurements.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps it hold its shape better during baking, resulting in neater and more defined cookies.
  • Don't overmix: Overmixing the dough develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: This ensures that the cookies are cooked through while maintaining a soft and chewy center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
