My friend Nancy gave me this recipe years ago. It is very rich and very bad for you, I am sure, but they are sooooo good!
1 (10 oz.) bag mini peanut butter cups
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups flour
Doubles well.
Mini muffin pan required.
Instructions:
Prep mini peanut butter cup by unwrapping them and placing on a plate, set aside. (You need them as soon as the cookies come out of the oven.)
Cream together butter, peanut butter and all sugars. Then, beat in egg and vanilla. Stir flour, salt and baking soda together. Add flour mixture to the cream mixture and mix well. Make 1 inch balls and place in ungreased mini muffin pan. Bake for ~8 minutes at 375 degrees.
Take out baked peanut butter balls and immediately push in peanut butter cups to the bottom. Let cool 15 minutes. Always good, but divine when still warm.
