You will make soft and chewy peanut butter cup cookies, stuffed with or topped with your favorite peanut butter cups. This recipe is easy and quick, perfect for satisfying that sweet craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups peanut butter cups (chopped or whole mini cups)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the 1 cup of creamy peanut butter until fully incorporated into the dough.
  7. Scoop the dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each). Flatten slightly.
  8. Press a whole peanut butter cup into the center of each dough ball, or press chopped pieces into the top.
  9. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a stuffed cookie, completely encase the peanut butter cup in the dough before baking.
  • Mini peanut butter cups work well for topping or mixing directly into the dough.
  • If you prefer a flatter cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
  • This recipe makes cookies that are wonderfully soft right out of the oven.
