Description

These Peanut Butter Cup Cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with peanut butter flavor, featuring a mini Reese’s peanut butter cup nestled inside each cookie. Easy to make and irresistibly delicious, they’re perfect for holiday baking, parties, or anytime you need a sweet treat!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (Jif or Skippy works best!)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 24 mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, unwrapped

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough

  1. In a large bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.

Step 3: Shape & Bake the Cookies

  1. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place in the mini muffin tin (or spaced 2 inches apart on a baking sheet).
  2. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 4: Add the Peanut Butter Cups

  1. Remove from the oven and immediately press a mini Reese’s peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie.
  2. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

  1. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
  2. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
