Ingredients

  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup cane sugar
  • cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 36 mini peanut butter cups unwrapped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease 36 mini muffin cups with cooking spray
  • Whisk baking soda, baking powder and flour together in a medium bowl.  
  • Using a stand mixer, mix butter, peanut butter and sugar for about 2 minutes.  
  • Beat in egg, milk and vanilla.  Slowly add flour mixture until well blended.  
  • Roll into ¾ inch balls and place a ball into each muffin cup.  Using a tart tamper, press into the center of each ball to form a tart.  
  • Bake 12 minutes.  
  • Remove from oven and immediately press a peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie.  
  • Cool completely on wire rack before removing.  

Notes

For this super easy variation, you'll use 1 bag of peanut butter cookie dough mix made according to package directions. Follow directions above for rolling balls and making the cookie tarts. *The cookie mix usually makes about 48 cookies instead of 36, so make sure that you have plenty of chocolate peanut butter cups. :)
