Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Posting this now so I don't lose the slip of paper I have the recipe on - but I'll have to make a stop at the store soon to pick up some miniature peanut butter cups to actually make these to share (or to hoard and eat all by myself in the closet!) A friend at work brought these in to share and, being a true lover of peanut butter, I couldn't pass them up. Be warned - they are addictive!!

Ingredients:

1 3/4 C. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 C. Butter, softened
1/2 C. white sugar
1/2 C. peanut butter
1/2 C. packed brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbs. milk
40 miniature chocolate covered peanut butter cups (unwrapped!!)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit

Sift together flour, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl. Set aside.

Cream together with mixer the butter, sugar, peanut butter, and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and milk. Add the flour mixture and mix well.

Shape dough into 40 balls and place each into an ungreased mini muffin pan.

Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball. Cool and carefully remove from the pan.

Try not to eat them all at once! I dare you!
