Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Use smooth peanut butter for best results.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 12 pieces Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, mini size
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 cup extra peanut butter chips or chocolate chips Optional for added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and baking soda. Stir until you have a smooth, uniform dough.
  3. For a firmer dough, refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
  4. Using a tablespoon, scoop out a portion of dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup in the center and enclose the dough around it.
  5. Place the stuffed dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space in between for spreading.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops start to turn light golden brown.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
