- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling and Coating:
- 12 mini peanut butter cups (unwrapped)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients to form a soft dough.
- Assemble the cookies: Scoop dough, flatten, place a peanut butter cup in the center, wrap dough around it, roll into a ball, and coat in sugar.
- Bake: Arrange cookie dough balls on the baking sheet, bake for 10–12 minutes until set and golden. Cool before serving.
Notes
- Chill dough if too soft for easier handling.
- Try dark chocolate or caramel-filled peanut butter cups for variety.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
