Delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
24
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate peanut butter cups (chopped)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.

    Use room temperature butter for easier mixing.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

    Sifting the flour helps to avoid lumps.
  4. Mix Together

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped chocolate peanut butter cups.

    Do not overmix to keep cookies tender.
  5. Scoop and Bake

    Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

    Leave some space between cookies for even spreading.
  6. Cool and Serve

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    These cookies taste best when slightly warm.
