Description

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/4 cup (2 ounces or 4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 18 unwrapped mini peanut butter cups
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• In a mixing large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, butter, sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until combined. Chill the dough for 1 hour.
• Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Using a #40 cookie scoop (roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons) or by hand, scoop one dough ball, flatten the dough, and wrap around one peanut butter cup, sealing the dough completely. Place onto the cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. Chill the dough balls 15 minutes.
• While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 375F. Once ready, bake 10-12 minutes or until brown and edges are set. Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Cool completely.
• Once the cookies are cool, place the chocolate chips in a small heavy-duty sandwich bag. Microwave for 30 seconds at power 5. Massage the bag a bit then continue heating in 10 second intervals at power 5 until the chocolate is melted. Push all of the chocolate to one corner of the bag and cut a small hole. Pipe on top of cookies. Let the chocolate harden before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
