Peanut Butter Temptation Cookies
Peanut Butter Temptation Cookies are chewy and sweet peanut butter cookies stuffed with glorious chocolate peanut butter cups. These cookies are perfect for all the chocolate and peanut butter fans in your life.
Servings: 72 cookies (6 dozen)
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 cup peanut butter, creamy
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
- 6 dozen miniature peanut butter cups, unwrapped
- ½ cup sugar, for rolling
- 1 tablespoon red sugar crystals
- 1 tablespoon green sugar crystals
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar.
- Add vanilla then eggs, one at at time, beating well after each addition.
- Add baking soda, salt and half of flour and mix just until combined.
- Add other half of flour and mix until all flour is incorporated.
- On a rimmed plate or in a shallow flat bowl, mix together white sugar with red and green sugar crystals.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough, roll into balls and roll into sugar mix.
- Place balls in a greased mini muffin pan.
- Bake 8-10 minutes.
- Press peanut butter cups into cookies immediately after removing them from the oven.
- Cool at least 3 minutes in the pan or until chocolate has somewhat set.
- Remove and place on wire racks to cool completely. (I use a mini offset spatula to remove from pan without damaging the cookie).
