Peanut Butter Temptations


I got this recipe from my roommate and they are one of my favorites! (makes about 3 1/2 dozen)

40 mini peanut butter cups
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

-Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove wrappers from pb cups.

-In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, egg, and vanilla until fluffy. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. 

-Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet. Do not flatten.

-Bake 10-12 minutes until puffed and lightly browned; remove from oven.

-Immediately press peanut butter cups in center of each cookie.

-cool completely on pan and enjoy!
