Peanut Butter Cookies with Mini Peanut Butter Cups



















A wordy title... but a delicious cookie!  These little treats and soft on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside.  The mini peanut butter cups add an extra burst of chocolate peanut buttery goodness!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar (plus 1/2 cup to roll cookies in)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbs milk
1 1/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup mini peanut butter cups (I use Trader Joe's... but I'm sure Reese's would work too!)

Preheat the oven to 350°


(More photos to follow...)

Beat together the butter and peanut butter for 3 minutes until soft and creamy.

Add both sugars and combine well.

Add egg, milk and vanilla until smooth.

In a sifter, combine flour, basking soda, baking powder and salt.

Sift dry ingredients into wet mixture.

Form dough into 1/2" balls and roll in granulated sugar. 

Lay on parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake for 9 minutes.

Lay on cooling rack for a few minutes when done.



















Serve with ice cold milk and enjoy!



















I take these yummy cookies with me when I go to a sub job.  Everyone needs a little treat!
