Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a mini muffin pan with paper liners.

Make the Dough:
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.

Shape the Dough:
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place each ball into the mini muffin pan, ensuring that the dough is evenly distributed.

Bake:
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie while they are still warm.

Cool:
Let the cookies cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
