Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

 

This is a super easy cookie to make. The center of the cookie is a MINI peanut butter cup.

The cookie dough contains three ingredients, crunchy peanut butter, brown sugar and a egg. All you do is mix the cookie dough together and then divide the dough between a 24 cup mini-muffin pan. Bake for 10 minutes and then immediately stuff each cookie with a Reese's peanut butter cup.

This is a great gluten free cookie.

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Makes 24 cookies



Ingredients:


24 individually wrapped MINI peanut butter cups

1 Cup crunchy peanut butter

¾ Cup brown sugar

1 large egg

Flaky sea salt (optional)




Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Unwrap all the peanut butter cups.

In a large bowl combine the peanut butter, brown sugar and egg.

Using a hand mixer, beat mixture until totally combined.

Pinch off tablespoon portions and place into a 24 cup mini-muffin pan.

Gently press the cookie dough.

Bake until the edges are golden and crisp and the cookies are puffed, about ten minutes.

Remove from oven and immediately press a peanut butter cup into the centre of each cookie so that each cookie has a nice little rim of cookie surrounding it.

Sprinkle a little flaky salt on each one if you want.

Let cookies sit for about 10 minutes and then remove from pan.

Use a butter knife to remove from the pan.
