Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 cup salted butter room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 T. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped Reese's miniature peanut butter cups (I cut each one into four pieces; this is a little less an an 11 oz bag, I had a few left over after I chopped and measured them)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a stand mixer, beat the butter and both sugars together until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla, and beat until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until fully combined. Try not to overmix.
  • Stir in the chopped peanut butter cups.
  • Using a cookie scoop or spoon, roll the dough into balls (using about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie) and set them about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack. If you try to transfer too soon they will fall apart.
