  • ½ cup granulated sugar

Instruction

  • Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat brown and white sugars, peanut butter, shortening, butter, and egg in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Turn the mixer to low speed and add the flour mixture. Mix until combined and dough is formed.
  • Cover peanut butter cookie dough and chill dough for about 2 hours or until firm.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F and spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Roll the dough into balls about an inch to an inch and a half in diameter. That equals about one tablespoons worth.
  • Place each cookie dough ball into the mini muffin tin.
  • Bake cookies for 12 minutes or until light golden brown. While the cookies are baking, unwrap mini Reese’s peanut butter cups.
  • Press mini peanut butter cups into the center of each warm cookie. Cool and remove from muffin tin and place cookies on a wire cooling rack.
