This recipe is from my best friend, Delayne who got it from her sister. We usually triple the recipe and make 48 large cookies.
INGREDIENTS (for 7 servings):
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 15 miniature chocolate covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, cream the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together. Stir in the egg and vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture.
Drop by tablespoonfuls into the cups of a muffin tin. Cups should be about 1/4 full. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven and immediately press a peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool completely before removing from their pan.
