Peanut Butter Sin Cookies

I call these cookies a sin because it combines peanut butter AND chocolate. I know these cookies aren't good for you. They're terrible. Mean. They'll kick your dog. They'll smack your momma. Then they'll sit between your fingers and look so innocently sweet...and tempting.

It's why I advise you to eat these fast and furiously. Don't give them a chance to wreak havoc.

Get them before they get you.

Needed - 2 mini muffin pans.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons Vanilla
• 1 cup Peanut butter -- creamy
• 3 Whole eggs
• 1 cup Butter -- softened
• 1 1/4 cups Sugar
• 1 1/4 cups Dark brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 cups Flour
• 2 bags of Reece's MINI Peanut Butter cups that have the foil and paper cups removed (please try to refrain from eating the PB cups as you shell them...you'll feel sick later if you don't. Not that I'm speaking from experience...oh NO...never.)

METHOD

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt. Mix well with a wire whisk.

In a large bowl, blend sugars using a mixer at medium speed. Add butter and mix to form a grainy paste. Add eggs, peanut butter, and vanilla. Mix at medium speed until light and fluffy.

Add the flour mixture and mix at low speed until just mixed. (Do not overmix).

Grease mini muffin tins.

Roll peanut butter ball into a 1 inch diameter. Put one ball into each slot of the mini muffin pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden brown.

Remove from oven.

Place a peanut butter cup in the center of the cookie and push down gently until it is slightly (or completely submerged - it's up to you how you want it done).

Let cool, then remove from tins...eat them before they harm your loved ones.
