Ingredients

½ cup butter softened
½ cup peanut butter creamy

1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 ¼ cup flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line mini muffin tins with mini cupcake liners.
Cream butter, peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla together in a large bowl.
Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together. Blend flour mixture into creamed mixture.
Roll peanut butter cookie dough into balls about nickel-size in diameter. Place dough balls into cupcake liners.
Bake for 10 minutes (now is a good time to unwrap the Reese's miniature peanut butter cups).
Remove from oven and let cool for only 1 minute.
Press a Reese's miniature peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie.
Allow cookies to cool for about 5 minutes before removing from the muffin tin. Let them cool the rest of the way on a cooling rack.

Notes

Cupcake liners are not necessary. Spray the mini muffin tin well with cooking spray before adding cookie dough balls. After cookies have cooled 5 minutes, run a knife around the edge of each cookie before removing them from the muffin tin.
