PEANUT BUTTER CUP COOKIES



Peanut Butter Cup Cookies image

These cookies are serious about peanut butter: Each has a full-size peanut butter cup tucked inside the salty-sweet peanut butter dough. As the cup bakes, the peanut butter inside softens, creating the perfect combination of crisp cookie shell, creamy center and crunchy honey-roasted topping.

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray, for the muffin tin
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
Coarse sanding sugar, for rolling
12 full-size peanut butter cups
1/4 cup chopped honey-roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Beat the peanut butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and egg on high until the dough comes together in a mass.
  • Pour some sanding sugar in a small bowl. Form the dough into 12 balls and roll to coat in the sugar. Put a dough ball in each muffin cup. Press the dough about 1/2 inch up the sides to make a shell. Fit a peanut butter cup into each dough shell. Bake until the edges of the cookies are set and golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the tin to a cooling rack, then immediately top the peanut butter cups with a sprinkling of the peanuts. Cool 15 minutes, then remove the cookies to the wire rack to cool completely.

PARTY PEANUT BUTTER CUP COOKIES



Party Peanut Butter Cup Cookies image

Christmas would not quite be Christmas without these cookies ... just ask my kids. The combination of a peanut butter cookie on the outside with a chocolate covered Reese's minature peanut butter cup pushed into the cookie after baking, is unbeatable. They also look like they were harder to make than they really are.

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 24-48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter (or margarine)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
24 -36 miniature peanut butter cups

Steps:

  • Cream butter and peanut butter with sugars and vanilla.
  • Add egg and beat.
  • Add dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Form small balls of dough about the size of a small walnut.
  • Note: I use my Pampered Chef cookie scoops to measure out 1 teaspoon or 2 teaspoon balls, depending on whether I want a greater yield or a fancier looking cookie.
  • Using mini muffin pans(each cup about 1 1/2 inches in diameter), place 1 ball in each muffin cup.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes (or 335 convection for 10 minutes).
  • While the cookie balls are baking, unwrap the candies completely.
  • As soon as the cookies come out of the oven (they will be very soft at this point), push a candy into the center of each ball, making the cookie into acup that surrounds the candy but does not cover it.
  • Note: To make the candies easier to push into the hot cookie, I usually keep the unwrapped candies on a plate in the refrigerator until I am ready to insert them.
  • Let cookies cool in pan until they are set enough to lift out without breaking.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter cups for the best flavor. Try to find cups that are made with real peanut butter and chocolate.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to frost the cookies.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter cup cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their chewy texture, rich peanut butter flavor, and decadent chocolate frosting, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these peanut butter cup cookies a try!
