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!
