Had you ever heard of a cookie-cupcake hybrid before (or perhaps it should be called a cookie in cupcake form)? I hadn’t, but it’s delicious. Of course, there is that classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter that I have always loved, but the mixture of textures is really delightful, too.
The kids will love this, so it makes for a great snack at a children’s birthday party. Of course, plenty of adults will love this treat, too, so it would do well as a tailgate dessert, too, I think. And how can you beat 45 minutes of cook and prep time for a baked dessert? Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter (I just went with Jif)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, at room temperature (I used Land O’Lakes)
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
16 whole, full-sized Reese’s peanut butter cups, unwrapped
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 12-cup muffin tins with nonstick spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the peanut butter and butter. Add the sugars and mix until combined. Beat in the egg. Add in the dry ingredients a little at a time and mix just until they are incorporated.
4. Fill 16 muffin cups about half-full with cookie dough. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the cookie cupcakes are golden on the edges. Expect them to sink slightly in the centers. When they come out of the oven, place a peanut butter cup in the center of each warm cookie cupcake and press down lightly. Place the cupcake pans in to the refrigerator or freezer to expedite the cooling process, if desired. Once the peanut butter cups have hardened, remove the cookie cupcakes from the pan.
