The Best Cookies Ever

 Last night I was in the mood to bake cookies. I found a recipe online for Peanut Butter Cup cookies and they sounded so yummy. So I set to work. Seriously, these are the best cookies I’ve had in a long long time. Amazingly delicious. If you like peanut butter and chocolate, you’ll love these. I took one bite and told the husband they were hands down the best. He responded by trying one too. And then another. And then he told me to hide them from him…they are that good!

The best part is that they are SO easy to make. 

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 40 miniature chocolate covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda; set aside. 
  • Cream together the butter, sugar, peanut butter, and brown sugar until fluffy. 
  • Beat in the egg, vanilla, and milk. 
  • Add the flour mixture; mix well. 
  • Shape into 40 balls and place each into an ungreased mini muffin pan. 
  • Bake at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes. 
  • Remove from oven and immediately press a peanut butter cup into each cookie. 
  • Cool and carefully remove from pan

Enjoy!

    Thanks for sharing the recipe. My favorite part is the "40 miniature chocolate covered peanut butter cups, UNWRAPPED." Sadly, there are people who need that much detailed instruction.

    Made them tonight. Delish! You can use a 1" cookie scoop to avoid having to roll them into balls. It is my favorite kitchen gadget from pampered chef:)

It really is true when they say the days are long It really is true when they say the days are long but the years are short. One day I’m struggling to carry two babies at a time while wrangling a toddler and then next minute they are all off to school and practices and friends’ houses. With all three kids in school we’ve been thinking a lot about their futures and how we are going to one day pay for college. We set up a Michigan Education Trust 529 plan for each of our kids when they were babies and I am SO happy we did! With a MET account, we can pay for future college tuition at today’s prices. With MET’s discounted age-based pricing the earlier you start, the more you are able to save! Plus grandparents and other loved ones can contribute to my kids’ accounts too! With MET you get back what you put in if your child chooses a different path and the money goes with you if your child goes to school out of state. You can even transfer it to immediate family members and all contributions to MET plans are tax deductible! To learn more about how to set up a MET account and the benefits of starting your child’s account early, check out my stories or the link in my bio. @mieducationtrust #sponsored #SETwithMET #MI529 #collegesavings #METSept2023
