Peanut Butter Cup Cookies II

          

This recipe is from my best friend, Delayne who got it from her sister. We usually triple the recipe and make 48 large cookies.

Original recipe makes 15 cookies

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
15 miniature chocolate covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter together. Stir in the egg and vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture.
  3. Drop by tablespoonfuls into the cups of a muffin tin. Cups should be about 1/4 full. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven and immediately press a peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool completely before removing from their pan.
