Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 12 mini peanut butter cups, chopped into small pieces
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Finally, fold in the chopped peanut butter cups.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough and place each cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- If you don't have mini peanut butter cups, you can use regular-sized ones and chop them into small pieces.
- For a more intense peanut butter flavor, use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy.
- Make sure to allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, as they may be fragile when they first come out of the oven.
