EASY & CUTE PEANUT BUTTER CUP COOKIES
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)
24 mini peanut butter cups
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 24 mini-muffin tin.
In a small bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl beat together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add in flour mixture and beat at low speed until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
Place batter into tart shells filling only halfway. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately insert peanut butter cups into the middle of the cookie. Be careful because the chocolate will melt as you press down. And don’t forget to remove the paper lining first. Cool to room temperature and enjoy!
