¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👩🍳 Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.
Mix dry ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Cream butter & sugars:
In a large bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg & vanilla:
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Combine:
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
Scoop & bake:
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place in each mini muffin cup. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until just golden.
Add the surprise:
Remove from oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie.
Cool:
Let cookies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
💡 Tips:
For extra chocolatey goodness, drizzle melted chocolate over the top once cooled. 🍫
