Peanut Butter Cup Cookies from Brittany brought by Michelle:

Cookie:

1 cup butter

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

36 Reese's peanut butter cups, unwrapped (not regular size, not mini, just the small ones)

Glaze:

2 cups chocolate chips

1/4 cup peanut butter

2 tsp shortening (or coconut oil)

Combine butter, sugar and peanut butter. Add egg and vanilla. Mix, then add flour, baking soda and salt. Makes a soft dough. On counter, divide dough into fourths. Divide dough into 36 balls, push a peanut butter cup into each ball and wrap the dough up around to cover the peanut butter cup. Place on cookie sheet and allow room for cookie to spread while baking. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. Melt glaze ingredients and drizzle or frost center top of each cookie. Enjoy.
