The Easiest Cookies You Will Ever Make

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

1 3/4 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 c. softened butter
1/2 c white sugar
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1/2 c peanut butter
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbls milk
1 Bag of Miniature Reeses Peanut Butter Cups (unwrapped)

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F


2. Sift together flour, salt and baking soda, set aside.

3. Cream together the butter, sugars, and peanut butter until fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla and milk. Add the flour mixture; mix well.

4. Shape into balls and place into ungreased mini muffin pan. I used three pans, so 36 balls.

5. Bake at 375 degrees for about 8-10 minutes. I started with two of the pans on the top rack and one on the bottom, and switched them about half way through. While these are in the oven, start unwrapping the mini Reeses cups. When time is up and the centers are soft but not mushy, remove from oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball. Cool on wire racks and then carefully remove from pans.





I generally let them sit out in the pans for 5-10 minutes to cool, though the Reeses will be melty in the middle. At this time, I pop them in the fridge and wait for the candy to set. You can then take them out of the pans. If you get aluminum mini-muffin pans, just push up on the bottom of each muffin-section...if they are cold enough, the cookies should pop right out!
