Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Recipe

Nothing says Christmas quite like the tray of cookies that my Mimi puts out on the table every year on Christmas day. I haven't met a cookie on her tray that I don't like, but my favorites are easily the peanut butter cup cookies. They're simple, classic, and I look forward to them each year, so I thought I'd share them with you today!

What do you say? Throw on your favorite Christmas tunes and let's bake together!

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup softened butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons milk

40 mini chocolate covered peanut butter cups

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375.

2. Sift together flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.

3. Cream together butter, sugar, peanut butter, and brown sugar until fluffy.

4. Beat in egg, vanilla, and milk. 

5. Add flour mixture and mix well. 

6. Shape into 40 balls and place each into an ungreased mini muffin pan. Bake for 8 minutes.
