Let\u2019s quickly review what you\u2019ll need to make the recipe:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Peanut butter:<\/strong> Make sure to use a no-stir creamy peanut butter like Jif or Skippy. Avoid using natural peanut butters where the oil separates from the peanut butter, otherwise the cookies will spread too much and turn out greasy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peanut butter cups: <\/strong>I used miniature peanut butter cups for this recipe because they\u2019re the perfect size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sugar: <\/strong>I used a mixture of granulated sugar and brown sugar in the cookie dough. Brown sugar adds flavor to the cookies and also keeps them moist. If desired, you can roll the cookie dough balls in additional granulated sugar before baking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter: <\/strong>Use unsalted butter that\u2019s been softened to room temperature.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Egg: <\/strong>You\u2019ll need just one egg for this recipe. It should also be brought to room temperature before adding it to the cookie dough.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container

class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Peanut Butter Cup Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a straightforward recipe that can be made at a moment\u2019s notice. The cookie dough doesn\u2019t need to be chilled prior to baking, which is ideal for those times when you need to prep a batch of cookies fast! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an overview of how to make them:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prep the baking sheets: <\/strong>I recommend lining two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Go ahead and preheat the oven to 350\u00baF (180\u00b0C) as well.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combine the dry ingredients: <\/strong>In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combine the wet ingredients: <\/strong>In another large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), beat the butter and sugars together until well combined. Then, add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Finish the cookie dough: <\/strong>Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Form the cookie dough balls: <\/strong>I like to do this using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop. If desired, you can coat each cookie dough ball in granulated sugar for added texture and sweetness.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bake: <\/strong>Once you\u2019ve coated the cookie dough in sugar, bake the cookies just until the tops are set.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add the peanut butter cups: <\/strong>Gently press a mini peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie. You\u2019ll want to do this as soon as the cookies come out of the oven, while they\u2019re still warm.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cool: <\/strong>Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 to 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. You will also need to chill the cookies in the fridge to finish hardening the chocolate of the peanut butter cups.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Peanut-Butter-Cup-Cookies-7.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A stack of three mini peanut butter cup cookies, surrounded by additional cookies. \" class=\"wp-image-48980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Peanut-Butter-Cup-Cookies-7.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Peanut-Butter-Cup-Cookies-7.jpg?resize=340%2C510&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Peanut-Butter-Cup-Cookies-7.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Peanut-Butter-Cup-Cookies-7.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Peanut-Butter-Cup-Cookies-7.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Peanut-Butter-Cup-Cookies-7.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Peanut-Butter-Cup-Cookies-7.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1675272058083\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I use another nut butter in this recipe?\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Most likely, yes. However, you\u2019ll want to use a nut or seed butter that\u2019s a no-stir variety. Natural nut butters (i.e. just nuts and salt) often result in greasy cookies.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1675272068174\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I use regular-sized peanut butter cups?\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I suggest buying mini peanut butter cups for best results. If you can\u2019t find Reese\u2019s brand miniature peanut butter cups at your local grocery store, another brand will work just as well. For example, I know that Trader Joe\u2019s carries mini peanut butter cups coated in both dark and milk chocolate.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1675272075575\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I add mix-ins to the cookie dough?\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I don\u2019t recommend adding mix-ins to this particular cookie recipe.

That will result in the softest, chewiest cookies!&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be sure to press the mini peanut butter cups into the peanut butter cookies as soon as they\u2019re taken from the oven. The chocolate coating will melt, but that\u2019s what you want. It helps to secure the peanut butter cup to the cookie and makes for easier eating.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After the cookies have cooled completely, make sure to chill them in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes. This will help the peanut butter cups firm back up and hold their shape at room temperature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recipe
