PEANUT BUTTER TEMPTATIONS

Here is a cookie recipe I really enjoy; thought I would share!!! ;)

PEANUT BUTTER TEMPTATIONS

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
54 miniature Reese's peanut butter cups, unwrapped
semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted (for drizzle - optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Beat together peanut butter, butter, and sugars. Add the egg and vanilla.

Stir together flour, and baking soda; add to the peanut butter mixture.

Shape into 1-inch balls. Place each ball in a mini muffin pan cup.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 8 minutes.

As soon as the cookies are removed from the oven, press one unwrapped peanut butter cup into each cookie. If desired, drizzle with melted chocolate.

Makes 54

Sad I'm missing your "par-tay" with Katie at Emily's tonight. But those cookies sound AMAZING- right up my alley! So... where do I get a mini muffin pan, or can I just buy some from you?

Missed seeing you too! I'll come get my gift later ;)
I bought my mini muffin pan at Walmart for $10. If you buy it from me it'll cost ya $20. Hee!
