Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

I first made this recipe for my Christmas ornament exchange party a few years ago. There are a few web sites with different version of the recipe. I found this one on allrecipes. I changed it just a little. The dough was too soft to handle so I add more flour and reduced the amount of milk. You can use your favorite peanut butter cookie recipe if you like. I love a recipe that is so simple and taste great to.

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

2 cups all purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ cup butter, softened

½ sugar

½ cup peanut butter

½cup packed brown sugar

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla

48 miniatures chocolate covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped.
It's nice having a elf around the house!

 Preheat oven to 375⁰. 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 48 balls and place each into ungreased mini muffin pan. Bake at 375⁰ for about 10 minutes.

Remove from oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball.

 Cool and carefully remove from pan.
