Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter choose a good quality for best flavor
  • 1 cup granulated sugar adds sweetness and helps create cookie edges
  • 1 large egg acts as a binder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda helps cookies rise slightly
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt balances sweetness
  • 12 miniature Reese's peanut butter cups unwrapped, for the center of each cookie

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
