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!

PostHeaderIcon Outrageous Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

 It Only Takes 15 Minutes to Prep This Triple-Threat Cookie!

I am a huge cookie lover! Whether it’s the traditional chocolate chip cookie, or fancy Italian cookies my mom makes, I will not turn one down! Store-bought or homemade also does not matter. But of course homemade usually tastes better, especially warm from the oven. Heck, I even love the raw dough! So I want to share an easy and quick cookie recipe today that is a spin-off from the usual chocolate chip cookie. This one adds peanut butter and oats and I found it on Allrecipes.com. It’s like an oatmeal cookie and chocolate chip cookie and peanut butter cookie combined! If you like all these flavors, you’re going to LOVE this outrageously delicious cookie! Enjoy!

OUTRAGEOUS CHOCOLATE CHIP PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and egg until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the batter just until moistened. Mix in the oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges start to brown. Cool on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Makes 3 dozen.
