Hello everyone! If you love peanut butter as much as my husband, you have to make these cookies. I swear every time I ask him what cookies he wants me to make, it has to be something that has peanut butter in it, Hey, I love peanut butter too so I can make it all the time! These cookies are the best, If you like making peanut butter cookies you have to try these! Ahhhmazing! :)

Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar or light brown
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 18 Reese's Miniature Peanut butter cups, unwrapped

Drizzle:

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tsp. creamy peanut butter

Directions:

• Make the cookies, toss the flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together on a medium speed until combined. On low speed, beat in peanut butter, egg, and vanilla. Turn the mixer to high and beat until light color and smooth.
• Turn the mixer to low and slowly pour in the dry ingredients. Mix until combined and dough is formed.
• Cover tightly and chill the cookie for at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days) Chilling is mandatory
• Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350F. Take 1 tbsp. of dough and roll into a ball. Take another 1 tbsp. of dough  and roll into a bowl. Stick a peanut butter cup into one ball, kind of like a "cradle" as shown below. Top the peanut butter cup with other cookie dough ball and seal down the sides so that the peanut butter cup is securely stuffed inside. Roll the large cookie dough ball in your hands to ensure it's smooth. Repeat with the rest of the dough and 18 peanut butter cups.

• Bake The cookies for 10-11 minutes or until very lightly browned on the sides.
• Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the drizzle:   Melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter together in the microwave, stirring often to prevent seizing. Add 1 tsp. of shortening if the mixture isn't smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies. ( I used an empty condiment bottle for drizzling.)
