Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Peanut butter cup cookies are a delicious dessert that mixes the flavours of chocolate and peanut butter.
Ingredients
- For the Cookies:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- For the Filling:
- 12-16 mini peanut butter cups or regular-sized, halved
Instructions
- Set the temperature of the oven to 175 C (350 F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a big bowl, mix the granulated sugar, peanut butter, baking soda, vanilla extract and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Make small balls of dough around an inch wide using your hand or a cookie scoop and put them on the baking sheet, separating them each by some space.
- Bake in the oven until the edges are lightly golden, it may take around 10-12 minutes. The centers may be a bit underbaked, that is ok as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet.
- Take out the cookies from the oven and press a mini peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie. Let the cookies cool before transferring them on a wire rack.
- It's time to enjoy the peanut butter cup cookies.
