Ingredients
  

  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 40 miniature peanut butter cups unwrapped

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease two mini muffin tins.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Don't overmix!
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place each ball into a mini muffin cup.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately press a miniature peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie.
  9. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
