Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 bag (12 oz) Reese’s miniatures
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

1. Remove the foil and paper wrapper from each peanut butter cup and place in a bowl. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with silpat liner, parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl cream together butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and peanut butter.
4. Add in eggs and vanilla and beat well.
5. Add in baking soda, salt and flour and combine until just incorporated.
6. Take 2-3 tablespoons (about the size of a golf ball) of dough and wrap around one peanut butter cup.
7. Roll it in your hands to create a ball making sure the peanut butter cup is completely covered. Roll the dough ball in the 1/4 cup sugar to coat the outside of it.
8. Repeat with the remaining dough and place 12 to a cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes on the cookie sheet. Remove to cooling rack to cool completely. Although, these cookies are so good warm.
