Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 24 mini Reese’s peanut butter cups optional, for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough into each mini muffin cup. Press the dough gently with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • While the cookie cups are warm, press a mini Reese’s peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie cup.
