Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peanut butter

Stuffing:

  • 1 cup peanut butter cups, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that everything is ready when you start mixing.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt throughout the flour.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This process incorporates air, making your cookies tender.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. This will enrich the flavor and contribute to the moisture of your cookies.
  5. Incorporate Peanut Butter: Mix in the peanut butter until fully combined. This will give your dough that signature peanut butter flavor.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender.
  7. Fold in Peanut Butter Cups: Gently fold in chopped peanut butter cups into the cookie dough, ensuring even distribution throughout.
  8. Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • Don’t overbake; take them out when golden on the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • Experiment with sizes by adjusting the scoop size.
